Chief Justice Martha Koome has reiterated that they will only act on allegations of corrupt judges once they are channeled through the right institutions.
She said the allegations should be backed with evidence and not on blanket statements being made without any proof.
She called out the government for what she said was disrespecting constitutional order.
"Let us never take law into our hands. We all must remain faithful to the constitution which is our true North," Koome said.
Article 172 of the Constitution tasks the JSC with the mandate to “receive complaints against, investigate and remove from office or otherwise discipline registrars, magistrates, other judicial officers and other staff of the Judiciary.
She made the remarks at the Milimani Law Courts as CRJ Anne Amadi retired from office.
Going further, the Chief Justice said the commission is ready to process any complaints leveled against any Judge or Judicial Officer who is implicated in corruption or any other acts of misconduct.
"I urge all judges and judicial staff to continue discharging their duties per their oath of office," she said.
Koome on January 3 said the Judiciary will continue to protect the sanctity of the Constitution.
The CJ reminded judges and judicial officers that Judicial authority is safeguarded under Article 160 (1) which they should live up to.
