The Judicial Service Commission (JSC) has shortlisted five candidates for the position of Supreme Court Judge after reviewing six applications. 

In a notice by the JSC published on Friday, the shortlisted candidates are Justices Joseph Kipchumba Kigen Katwa, Warsame Abdulahi Mohammed, Joseph Kiplagat Sergon, Francis Kipruto Tuiyott and former Independent Policing Oversight Authority (IPOA) Chair Anne Waceke Kiratu Makori. 

The interviews are set to be conducted between Tuesday, April 28, and Wednesday, April 29. 

Members of the public were invited to submit information regarding any of the shortlisted candidates, with the assurance that it would be kept confidential. 

The process was occasioned by the death of Justice Mohamed Ibrahim in December last year following a short illness. 

Thereafter, the JSC advertised the position on January 27, with the application window closing on February 17, 2026.
