The position of Chief Registrar of the Judiciary became vacant after Anne Amadi left the corridors of justice as a State officer following a 10-year tenure.

She handed the button to her deputy, Paul Ndemo, who is currently working in an acting capacity.

Chief Justice Martha Koome, who presided over the leaving ceremony, described Amadi's leadership as a transformative journey with significant influence.

Amadi is the first Chief Registrar of the Judiciary to have administered the oath of office to two presidents: Uhuru Kenyatta in 2017 and William Ruto in 2022.
