Supreme Court Now Fully Constituted as Justice Mohammed Warsame Takes Oath in State House Ceremony

 President William Ruto today presided over the swearing-in ceremony of Hon. Justice Mohammed Warsame as a Judge of the Supreme Court of Kenya at State House Nairobi, marking a significant milestone in the country’s judiciary.

The oath of office was administered by the Chief Registrar of the Judiciary, Hon. Winfridah Mokaya, in a ceremony attended by key figures in the justice sector, including Chief Justice Martha Koome and Commissioners of the Judicial Service Commission (JSC), alongside other senior dignitaries.

Justice Warsame’s appointment is particularly notable as it completes the Supreme Court bench, bringing the apex court to its full constitutional quorum of seven judges. This development is expected to strengthen the court’s capacity to handle high-profile constitutional and electoral disputes without delays caused by lack of quorum.

The Supreme Court of Kenya, the highest judicial authority in the country, now operates at full strength following months of anticipation over the final appointment. Legal analysts say the move could enhance efficiency and reinforce public confidence in the judiciary’s ability to dispense justice in a timely and balanced manner.

The ceremony at State House underscored the executive’s formal role in judicial appointments, even as the judiciary continues to emphasize institutional independence under Kenya’s constitutional framework.

With the bench now complete, attention turns to how the fully constituted court will shape upcoming landmark rulings in Kenya’s evolving legal and political landscape.
