The Supreme Court of Kenya has been conferred with the African Bar Association (AfBA) prestigious Medal of Merit for Judicial Excellence.

The Association recognized the Court’s outstanding leadership in advancing transformative jurisprudence, upholding constitutional supremacy, and fortifying democratic governance across Africa since its establishment under the 2010 Constitution.

In the citation, the AfBA emphasized that, “The [Supreme] Court’s 2022 adjudication not only reinforced Kenya’s constitutional framework but also set a gold standard for judicial excellence in Africa, fostering public trust in electoral justice and averting potential instability.

The Court’s balanced approach, emphasizing evidence-based reasoning over political pressures, has inspired judiciaries continent-wide, advancing good governance and the peaceful transfer of power.

The African Bar Association honours the Supreme Court of Kenya’s legacy of principled jurisprudence – a pillar of democratic resilience.”
