A petition has been filed at the High Court seeking to halt the Judicial Service Commission (JSC) from publishing the individual performance data of judges and judicial officers.

• The petitioner, Duncan Kariuki, argues the move threatens judicial independence and lacks a legal framework.
• The publication was reportedly announced during the declaration of a successful candidate for a vacant Supreme Court judge position.
• Kariuki is seeking interim orders to bar the JSC from releasing the data, which was expected to begin on July 15, 2026.
