The High court and Law Society of Kenya representatives took the oath of office respectively at the Supreme Court under the watch of Chief justice David Maraga.

The two commissioners, High court judge David Majanja and Lawyer Macharia Njeru and who will be in office for the next five years vowed to push for institutional change that will guarantee a modernized judiciary.

The duo also committed to ensure justice and independence is served to all Kenyans by the judiciary.

On his part the chief justice reminded them of their duty to fortify the rule of law as guaranteed in the constitution.
