JSC Candidate GATHII IRUNGU Taken to Court

Wed, March 13th. 
By The Kenyan Youth 

Judicial Service Commission Male (JSC) Representative Candidate Gathii Irungu has been taken to court over the validity of his Kenya Revenue Authority tax compliance certificate. A Legal Society Commission (LSK) member sued him earlier today claiming that Gathii was cleared despite having not been cleared by the taxman which is part of the requirements by LSK for anyone vying for a judicial position.

COMPLIANCE CERTIFICATE

Gathii went to his Twitter and Facebook account uploading his compliance certificate and asking his complainant to meet him in court. “Someone has sued me that I do not file my returns with @KRACorporate @KRACare. Well, here is my KRA compliance certificate,” read his post on @GathiiWakili in part, “Let’s meet in court. You cannot stop and idea whose time has come.”

COMPETITOR

The candidate has further uploaded a photo of himself and competitor Alex Gatundu saying that it has been a busy day in court after someone attempted to submerge and subvert the will of the members of the LSK. He says that he has agreed with his competitor that they shall work peacefully. “We have agreed to compete harmoniously in line with my ideology that elective competition should neither divide people nor bring strife especially in our noble profession,” he said in his Twitter handle.

FIVE CANDIDATES

LSK has cleared five candidates to vie for the JSC male representative position. They include the previously sitting Prof. Tom Ojienda, Macharia Njeru and Charles Ongoto. There have been rumours from a section of LSK members that Alex Gatundu might cede his candidature and back Gathii Irungu. The speculation has further been raised by the presence of the two lawyers in Gathii’s case earlier today.
JSC is founded under Article 171 of the Constitution of Kenya. The commission has 11 members. It has been marred by different challenges including conflicting laws, the nature of punitive action against guilty judges, political interferences, funding and under staffing among others as expressed by LSK members. The election of the JSC officials is expected to take place in the first week of May this year. All lawyers who have a good standing with LSK will be eligible to vote.
