Justice Antony Mrima is set to replace the late High Court Judge David Majanja’s place as the Male Representative at the Judicial Service Commission (JSC).

This is after he was voted for in Kisumu by the Kenya Judges and Magistrates Association (KJMA).

Officials declared Mrima the winner on Friday after he garnered 95 votes, compared to Justice Sila Munyao, who secured 27 votes, and Justice James Olola, who got 15.

Mrima became a High Court Judge in 2014 and has served in Kakamega, Migori, the Constitutional and Human Rights Division in Milimani, and Kitale High Courts.

Admitted to the bar in 1998, Mrima holds a Bachelor of Laws (LLB) degree from the University of Nairobi and a Master of Laws (LLM) in International Human Rights from Liverpool John Moores University in the UK.
