Former Senior Principal Magistrate Frida Mokaya Boyani has been picked as the new Chief Registrar of the Judiciary.
The Judicial Service Commission (JSC) selected Mokaya replaces Anne Amadi, whose term ended on January 12, 2024.
The announcement was made by Chief Justice Martha Koome, via a communique on Tuesday morning.
Candidates who unsuccessfully interviewed for the job are Macharia Rose Wachuka, Ouma Jack Busalile Mwimali, Wambeti Anne Ireri, Ndemo Paul Maina, Kendagor Caroline Jepyegen, and Kandet Kennedy Lenkamai.
Following Amadi’s exit, JSC began the recruitment process, where 43 applicants showed interest in the job, but only seven were shortlisted.
On Monday, March 19, a JSC panel interviewed the shortlisted candidates before settling on Mokaya hours later.
Mokaya boasts over 27 years of experience in the courts and has held the position of JSC Registrar in 2012.
“As the Chief Registrar, Mokaya will serve as the Chief Administrator and accounting officer of the Judiciary. She will also be the secretary to the Judicial Service Commission and the National Council on Administration of Justice,” said Koome.
