Supreme Court clears four judges to resume Tuju case

The Supreme Court has lifted recusal orders that had barred four of its judges from handling a KSh4.5 billion dispute involving former Cabinet Secretary Raphael Tuju, his family, Dari Limited and the East African Development Bank. The four judges recused themselves in 2024 after Tuju and other applicants lodged a complaint with the Judicial Service Commission, alleging bias by the judges. In its latest ruling, the Supreme Court found that the circumstances surrounding the recusal had since changed, clearing the way for the judges to resume handling the case. The decision effectively revives a legal battle that has been stalled for nearly two years.
