Chief Justice removal process open to political manipulation – IEA warns
The Institute of Economic Affairs (IEA) has called for a revision of Article 146 of the 1992 Constitution, arguing that the existing process for removing Superior Court judges, particularly the Chief Justice, is vulnerable to political manipulation.
The Institute cited Article 168 of Kenya’s Constitution, which places an independent Judicial Service Commission in charge of the removal process and provides detailed procedures for handling cases against judges.
In its constitutional review statement issued on Wednesday, September 2, 2026, the IEA said the Constitution did not provide sufficient detail on how removal petitions should be handled.
