President William Ruto received the final report from the tribunal investigating Justice Mohammed Noor Kullow at State House Nairobi.
The tribunal, which was chaired by Court of Appeal Judge Patrick Kiage, was tasked with looking into allegations made against Justice Kullow, who serves in the Environment and Land Court.
After an extensive investigation, the tribunal dismissed all the allegations leveled against the judge, citing a lack of merit in the claims.
The tribunal found no evidence to support the accusations and, as a result, recommended that Justice Kullow be reinstated to his position in the Environment and Land Court.
The inquiry into Justice Kullow’s conduct began in response to allegations that questioned his professional integrity and suitability for judicial office.
However, after hearing testimonies and reviewing evidence, the tribunal concluded that the claims were unfounded.
In a statement following the release of the report, President Ruto expressed his confidence in the judicial process, stating that the independence of the judiciary remains a cornerstone of the Kenyan legal system.
The President further commended the tribunal for its thorough investigation and commitment to ensuring justice and fairness.
Justice Kullow, who was suspended during the investigation, will now return to his duties in the Environment and Land Court, where he has been a significant figure in adjudicating land and environmental cases.
His reinstatement is expected to restore confidence in the judicial processes, particularly in cases related to land disputes, a sector often fraught with complex and contentious legal battles.
This decision marks an important moment in Kenya’s ongoing efforts to maintain integrity and transparency within its judicial system.
As the country continues to address issues of accountability, the ruling reflects a step toward upholding the rule of law while safeguarding the independence of the judiciary.
