The investigative tribunal created by President Uhuru Kenyatta to investigate Supreme Court Judge Justice Jackton Ojwang due to misconduct has given its report to the president. The Chairman of the Tribunal Justice Alnashir Visram handed over the report in presence of its Members.

"After adducing and analysing all the allegations made against the Honorable Justice, the unanimous verdict is that the Judge of the Supreme Court Justice Jackton Ojwang is innocent of all the allegations made against him and that he should resume his duties immediately,” Chairman of the Tribunal Justice Alnashir Visram said as his team presented their report to the President.

The move by the JSC was triggered by a petition made by a Mr. Nelson Oduor and eight others in which varied allegations of misconduct, incompetence, and breach of the judicial code of conduct were made against the judge.

Justice Jackton Ojwang freedom comes after the tribunal report that indicated that he was innocent. 

" Thank you, you have done your work and Justice has been given, " the President added.
