Chief Justice Martha Koome has hailed High Court Judge David Majanja for his commitment to upholding the rule of law and ensuring the fair administration of justice.<\/p>\n
Speaking during a requiem service held on Wednesday, Koome highlighted Justice Majanja\u2019s significant contributions to the administration of justice and development of jurisprudence.<\/p>\n
The Chief Justice outlined Majanja\u2019s numerous landmark decisions that underscored his commitment to access to justice and the rule of law, among them the 2012 case of Kenya Bus Service Ltd & Another vs. Minister for Transport & 2 others.<\/p>\n
In the ruling, <\/em>Majanja held that the mandatory 30-day notice of intention to sue the government violated the right of access to justice and constituted an unjustified limitation in a democratic society.<\/p>\n \u201cWhere the state is at the front, left and center of the citizen\u2019s life, the law should not impose hurdles on accountability of the Government through the courts,\u201d Majanja stated.<\/p>\n Koome praised Justice Majanja\u2019s diligence and work ethic, noting his ability to consistently deliver judgments on time despite his responsibilities as a Commissioner of the Judicial Service Commission (JSC).<\/p>\n \u201cHe consistently delivered judgments on time and was frequently among the judges with the highest number of judgments delivered in the Judiciary,\u201d she stated.<\/p>\n \u201cHe was a mentor and a provider to many who, by emulating his example, have risen to become defenders of the law and providers of their own communities. He was a light that shone brightly to everyone who knew him,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n Majanja\u00a0passed away last Wednesday while undergoing treatment at the Nairobi Hospital.<\/p>\n High Court Judge, David Majanja<\/p>\n The post \u2018Law is my life, Justice is my blood\u2019 mantra epitomized Majanja\u2019s career<\/a> first appeared on KBC<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Chief Justice Martha Koome has hailed High Court Judge David Majanja for his commitment to upholding the rule of law and ensuring the fair administration of justice.
