How does the JSC handle complaints against judges, judicial officers and staff?
Accountability matters, and so does understanding the process.
In this video, I address this important question about the Judicial Service Commission’s work. Watch as we bring the conversation closer to you.

🎙️ INTRODUCING CHAMBER 10 WITH JACQUELINE INGUTIAH!
Where Law Meets Life!
What happens when we put down the files and make time for a conversation?
Inspired by my early days as a young advocate in Kisumu, Chamber 10 was a space within the Kisumu Law Courts where advocates across generations came together to learn, exchange ideas, share experiences, mentor one another and, of course, enjoy a good laugh!
This podcast brings that same spirit to life.
Starting 20th October 2026, join me for candid conversations, inspiring journeys, practical insights and the untold stories behind the legal profession.
Whether you're an advocate, a law student or simply curious about life and the law, there's a seat for you at Chamber 10!
Pull up a chair. Let's talk!

From Legal Aid to the Judicial Service Commission: A Journey of Service and Purpose.
From my early days in legal aid and human rights advocacy to serving on the Judicial Service Commission, my journey has been shaped by a deep commitment to justice, human dignity and the rule of law.
Some experiences never leave you, including the story of a six-year-old girl rescued from forced marriage.
Every step of my journey has reinforced one conviction, the law must serve people, especially the most vulnerable.
Thank you, @NationAfrica for sharing a glimpse of my journey.

One year later, the memories remain, the lessons endure, and the legacy lives on.
Baba, you may be gone, but your contribution to Kenya's democratic journey and the pursuit of justice will remain part of our nation's history.
Continue resting in peace, Baba @RailaOdinga
Your chapter in Kenya's story will never be forgotten.🇰🇪
🎥 WAKILI TUONGEE!
How does the Judicial Service Commission (JSC) conduct its business?
In this episode of *Wakili Tuongee*, we unpack how the JSC operates through its Committees, supported by the Secretariat: and how judicial decisions have clarified the Commission's constitutional mandate, roles and powers.
Understanding how the JSC works, including the scope and limits of its powers, is essential for informed engagement and accountability.
Watch, learn and share.

Legal Aid: Together, We Laid the Foundation. The Journey Continues
In 2008, LSK and civil society organisations offering legal aid joined other institutions, under the leadership of the Office of the Attorney General, to help develop a national legal aid framework for Kenya. The National Legal Aid and Awareness Programme pilot project tested what was possible. I am glad to have been part of that work as a FIDA Kenya representative.
The 2010 Constitution strengthened the foundation for legal aid, and the Legal Aid Act, 2016 established the National Legal Aid Service (NLAS) to give effect to those constitutional provisions.
Over the years, JSC has continued to advocate for increased funding for the Judiciary’s pro bono programme. Its allocation grew from KSh 63.6 million in FY 2023/24 to KSh 150 million in FY 2025/26.
However, court decisions and persistent concerns raised by the National Assembly regarding NLAS’s statutory mandate to provide legal aid informed the transition of these services to NLAS.
On Wednesday 7th October 2026, I participated in the joint Judiciary–LSK transition committee meeting, where the transition report was shared and members’ concerns discussed.
Having been part of the earlier efforts to build a national legal aid framework, this moment carries special meaning for me.
As these services move to NLAS, our commitment remains clear: outstanding bills must be paid, advocates’ concerns addressed, and those who rely on legal aid supported throughout the transition.
I also urged colleagues to participate in the budget-making processes of JSC, the Judiciary, NLAS and other justice-sector agencies. These are opportunities to shape funding priorities and ensure that the needs of advocates and the people we serve are heard.

Today is World Mental Health Day, a reminder that mental health matters to all of us.
The legal profession can be demanding. Heavy workloads, tight deadlines and everyday pressures can leave us stressed, overwhelmed or burnt out. Findings from the @ABAesq surveys have highlighted the mental health challenges facing lawyers, reminding us that these struggles are real and cannot be ignored.
Over time, I have learnt to cope through debriefing, family time, social media breaks and dancing! 💃🏽
How do you recharge?
Let's support one another. Seeking help is strength.

Happy Mazingira Day! 🌿
We all share a responsibility to keep our environment clean, safe and sustainable.
Let us make caring for our environment an everyday commitment.
The choices we make today shape the world we leave for future generations.
Our environment. Our collective responsibility.

Yesterday, I ran a quick informal WhatsApp poll asking what role we as Kenyan lawyers should play in the AI governance debate, and the responses from 104 colleagues were super clear!
Over 62% said we should actively shape policy, law, and standards. 26% highlighted protecting human rights and freedoms, and nearly 17% pointed to ensuring accountability. Only 3% felt we should wait and see.
What this feedback translates to is simple: as advocates, we need to understand the inner workings of AI tools, not just use them. Because AI governance is fundamentally a rule of law and public interest issue, we cannot simply react to disputes after they happen. Instead, we must proactively build technical expertise, drive policy around privacy and liability, and ensure emerging technologies remain firmly anchored in our constitutional values.
As AI keeps growing in Kenya, we really can't afford to sit on the sidelines! Getting involved in setting these ground rules is so important for our collective future, and I'm really looking forward to having more of these great conversations with you all.
Have a lovely week ahead.

Yesterday I joined fellow advocates and members of the legal fraternity to give our colleague and friend, Elizabeth Wanjeri a befitting send-off.
We celebrated her life, shared her memories and stood together with her family during this difficult moment.
Rest well Wakili.
Eternal rest grant unto her, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon her. May her soul rest in peace. Amen. 🙏🏾
Thank you @wilsonmukuna
It is indeed heartbreaking to learn the passing of Elizabeth Wanjeri.
I remember her fondly, especially during the campaign period, when she gave her all. We affectionately called her “Wanjeri wa CPD.” She was warm, dedicated and a true go-getter.
I will remember her beautiful smile, warmth and the energy she brought to everything she did.
My heartfelt condolences and prayers go out to her family and friends.
Eternal rest grant unto her O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon her. May her soul, and the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace.
Amen. 🕊️
