Judges Wanjiru Karanja and Martha Koome were also moved to Nairobi from Malindi.
Justices Fatuma Sichale and Sankale ole Kantai have been transferred from Nyeri to Nairobi.

Judges Roselyn Nambuye and Daniel Musinga have been moved to Nyeri from Nairobi. The transfers were routine as the Court of Appeal rules say a judge will be moved after staying at a station for two years.
The judges who have not been affected are Court of Appeal President William Ouko, Mohammed Warsame, Philip Waki, Kathurima M’Inoti, who is the Director of the Judiciary Training Institute, and Justice Alnashir Visram, who is based in Malindi.
