1. I am pleased to be presiding over this closing of file proceedings in honour of two towering jurists the late Hon. Justice David Majanja and the late Hon. Justice Daniel Ogembo.
2. This Special Sitting, while marked with grief at the loss of our dear colleagues, is equally a celebration of their remarkable contributions to the law and to our society. Their lives and service exemplified judicial excellence – marked by integrity, diligence, humility, and an unwavering commitment to justice.
3. The tradition of holding Special Court Tribute Proceedings for our departed colleagues serves as a powerful reminder that we are all stewards in the temple of justice. It is a moment for collective reflection – to honour those who have served with distinction, and to recommit ourselves to the values that defined their lives: integrity, fidelity to the rule of law, and excellence in the dispensation of justice.
4. The presence of judges from across the Supreme Court, Court of Appeal, High Court, Employment and Labour Relations Court, and the Environment and Land Court, sitting together on this bench signifies the unity and shared purpose that binds us all in service to justice. Regardless of the level at which we serve, we are all guided by the same constitutional calling to deliver justice to the people of Kenya.
5. From the remarks and reflections of those who have spoken before me, one thing is clear: Justices Majanja and Ogembo embodied the highest ideals of our profession. They each brought a distinctive voice and vision to the Bench, contributing richly to the growth of our jurisprudence and enhanced our system of the administration of justice
