Africa-Press – Kenya. <\/strong><\/span>The Judicial Service Commission (JSC) has received over 2,600 applications for various positions within the Judiciary. This is part of a large-scale recruitment drive aimed at improving access to justice and easing pressure on the courts.<\/p>\n

In a statement issued on Tuesday, JSC Chairperson Chief Justice Martha Koome announced that the application window for the advertised positions officially closed on July 7, 2025.<\/p>\n

The recruitment targets included Judges of the Superior Courts, Magistrates, Kadhis and other key staff across the Judiciary. According to data released by the Commission, the 15 advertised positions for Judges of the Court of Appeal attracted 94 applicants.<\/p>\n

For the 20 vacancies for Judges of the High Court, 376 applications were submitted. The 10 positions for Judges of the Environment and Land Court drew 242 applicants.<\/p>\n

The position of Resident Magistrate attracted the highest number of applicants. A total of 1,714 candidates applied for 100 vacancies. Meanwhile, the Commission received 253 applications for five Kadhi positions.<\/p>\n

The JSC said it is now moving to the next phase of the recruitment process. \u201cThe public is assured that the recruitment process will be conducted strictly in accordance with the Constitution and all applicable laws,\u201d the statement read.<\/p>\n

The Commission reaffirmed its commitment to \u201cmeritocracy, fairness, transparency and integrity.\u201d To protect the public from exploitation, the Commission reiterated that it does not charge any fees at any stage of the recruitment process.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor the avoidance of doubt, the Commission does not charge any fee at any stage of the recruitment process, including application, shortlisting, interviews or appointments,\u201d the JSC emphasised.<\/p>\n

The public was also cautioned to be on the lookout for fraudulent individuals or messages purporting to offer Judiciary jobs or promotions in exchange for money or favours.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese are fraudulent and criminal acts. We urge anyone who encounters such attempts to report immediately to the relevant law enforcement agencies, including the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC), or to the JSC directly,\u201d the Commission said.<\/p>\n

The recruitment effort forms part of a broader strategy to address increasing case backlogs and improve the quality of service delivery in courts across the country.<\/p>\n

In addition, the JSC acknowledged the challenges currently affecting the Judiciary\u2019s digital infrastructure. The Commission confirmed that recent technical outages had disrupted the e-filing system.<\/p>\n

However, it assured the public that service delivery is continuing through alternative systems under the Judiciary\u2019s Business Continuity Policy. \u201cAppropriate notices have been issued to court users in different fora through the Office of the Chief Registrar of the Judiciary, and the courts continue to offer services,\u201d the Commission stated.<\/p>\n

A technical team has been assigned to prioritise restoration of the e-filing system. The JSC highlighted that the Judiciary\u2019s ongoing digitisation and automation agenda has already delivered major benefits, including improved efficiency and access to services.<\/p>\n

Despite temporary setbacks, the Commission said it remains committed to ensuring uninterrupted access to justice for all Kenyans. Under Article 172 of the Constitution, the JSC is mandated to promote and facilitate the independence and accountability of the Judiciary and ensure effective and transparent administration of justice.<\/p>\n
