The Judicial Service Commission (JSC) has launched an investigation into allegations of bribery involving a sitting judge, following widespread accusations on social media. This action comes after former Law Society of Kenya (LSK) President Nelson Havi publicly accused judges of corruption.

• The JSC confirmed in a statement on Monday, September 22, that a full investigation will be conducted to uphold integrity and accountability within the Judiciary.
• Nelson Havi publicly alleged a judge received a bribe of "millions" to nullify crucial documents in a case, leading to the prosecution witness demanding a refund.
• Havi also accused another female judge of issuing straightforward judgments only to overturn them after allegedly being bribed, describing her as the "most corrupt in the country."
