All retired judges will now enjoy a comprehensive medical cover and diplomatic privileges following the enactment of the judges’ retirement benefits bill into law. The bill, which seeks to improve the welfare and post-retirement security of members of the judiciary, was assented to by President William Ruto at statehouse Nairobi. The new law provides enhanced retirement benefits, including comprehensive medical cover, diplomatic privileges, and other support measures aimed at safeguarding the dignity and independence of judges after leaving office.
