NAIROBI:STATEMENT BY H.E. MR. KOFI ANNAN, CHAIR OF THE PANEL OF EMINENT AFRICAN

17 June, 2011


I welcome the most recent judicial appointments announced yesterday by
His Excellency Mwai
Kibaki
, President of the Republic of Kenya.

Upon assuming office, the new incumbents will take on responsibility
for guiding and
facilitating much of the justice reforms contemplated in the new Constitution.
I wish them well.

The appointments to these senior positions usher in a new era of
judicial dispensation
in Kenya. The expectations of the people are high. Kenya wants to see a fully
independent, accountable and efficient justice system. These new appointments
are a positive sign that reform in this sector is irreversibly underway.
