    "content": "The Committee found that the Judicial Service Commission (JSC) failed to perform a task vested upon it under Article 172 of the Constitution, as spelt out in the JSC Act. The Committee further faults the Chief Justice (CJ) for not providing firm leadership to the Judiciary, giving a carte blanche to the then Chief Registrar of the Judiciary and the JSC in general. It is also of the concern to the committee that the CJ, who is in general the custodian of law, declined summons to appear and give evidence before the Committee, thereby violating the provisions of the Constitution that he is expected to uphold and protect. The Committee found that certain companies were involved in widespread malpractices with the Judiciary. An example is the Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology (JKUATES) Ltd. which was contracted by the Judiciary as a consultant for various projects. This company was directly sourced under the guise of Government to Government procurement and yet, its income was privately shared to the tune of 95 per cent.
