Judge in Gachagua ouster trial among 33 transferred
One of the High Court judges who presided over the impeachment hearing of former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua is among the 33 judges transferred in the latest changes by Chief Justice Martha Koome.
Justice Anthony Mrima, who presided over the hearing alongside Justices Eric Ogola and Freda Mugambi, has been transferred from Kitale to the Civil Division in Nairobi and the Judicial Service Commission.
CJ Koome announced the transfers on Tuesday, December 17, through a statement by the Principal Judge of the High Court Justice Eric Kennedy Okumu Ogola. The judges will report to their new stations from January 2025.
“This is to bring to your notice that Chief Justice Martha Koome has effected transfers of 33 judges of the High Court. The transfers are done in accordance with the Transfer Policy of the High Court,” said part of the statement signed by Justice Ogola.

Kisumu High Court Presiding Judge Roslyn Aburili has been transferred to Nairobi to serve as Presiding Judge Judicial Review Division at the Milimani Law Courts.
Meru High Court Presiding Judge Edward Muriithi has been transferred to Kerugoya where he will serve in the same capacity.

Murang’a High Court Judge Cecilia Githua has been elevated to Presiding Judge at the same station.

The head of the Anti-Corruption and Economic Crimes Division in Nairobi, Justice Esther Maina, has been transferred to Machakos to serve as the station’s presiding judge.
Early this year, former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua was involved in a spat with Justice Maina.
The ex-DP announced that he would file a petition seeking the removal of Justice Esther Maina from office, claiming that the judge had unceremoniously declared his fortune proceeds of crime, a move he said was meant to taint his image.
The DP claimed that Justice Maina denied him the opportunity to be heard against all the rules of evidence and that she even refused his application to cross-examine the investigator of his corruption case.
He, however, did not file the petition.
