The rise of the judicial age of secrecy: Assessing the Judicial Service Commission's interview for the Court of Appeal Judges

Abstract

This paper is a critique of the attempt of the Judicial service commission of Kenya to exclude the media from the court of appeal judges' interview. It argues that this attempt would amount to the carrying out of the interviews in secrecy. Such a measure is a violation of the values of the constitution. Secondly, such an act would affect the public confidence in the judiciary.
