We mourn the loss Hon. Justice David Amilcar Shikomera Majanja, Judge of the High Court of Kenya and Commissioner of the Judicial Service Commission.
Our heartfelt condolences go out to his family, friends, colleagues, and the entire Judiciary and JSC fraternity during this time of deep sorrow and sadness.
Justice Majanja will be remembered as a towering figure in the development of our transformative post-2010 jurisprudence and a crucial pillar in the institution-building of the JSC and the Judiciary.
We stand in solidarity with the family, friends, and the entire Judiciary and JSC community during this very difficult period of mourning.
Rest in Peace.
We always counted on your sobriety and guidance as the appellate court over the Small Claims Court. I remember well your training on practical application of the Bangalore Principles of Judicial Conduct. Thank you for your advise, including that 'If you're not writing judgments, youre not working!' Farewell good judge, you shall be deeply missed!
Judge Majanja was down to earth. He related well with all ranks in the judiciary. He was quick to assist in case of any clarification. He was a teacher and a guide especially to me as a new deputy registrar. As he took a break from writing his judgments, he would walk on the corridors of justice, opening any door and chatting with anyone who was around. He was a good man and the Judiciary has lost a good soul. May his soul rest in peace.
You were more than a mentor to me and you always advised me and my colleagues who recently joined the bench the secret to raising through the ranks to the highest offices in judiciary. You shall be missed judge. Rest in perfect peace.
We have lost a fine legal mind and a great judge. He was a mentor and a friend to many of us. May his soul rest in peace.
Heaven has received an anger. May the wings of God protect you. I will always love you judge
It is close to two weeks since news of your sudden demise broke out. Our hearts are still heavy with grief and disbelief. The pain and sense of loss are immense. We take solace in the reality that you lived well Judge. You embodied grace and humanity. Your brilliance, generosity of heart and prodigious capacity for work and doing good stood you head and shoulder above the rest. Fare thee well Judge.
Farewell my elder brother. I will miss your wise counsel. I vividly recall your great mentorship in Kisumu when I served as Head of Station and you as the Presiding judge. The discipline and 7am management meetings shaped most of Your encourage ment made me enroll for my LLM Course. I also don't forget the time you sent me to hand over local vegetables to your father in India.It gave me the sense of care you had to your ailing parent. I must confess that your style of concise and we'll reasoned decisions changed and made me a better Judicial Officer. We can't fault God who knows our destiny. May your soul rest in eternal peace.
We were appointed together in the year 2011 Judge was a man of the people for the people He was there for all of us at our hour of need He would for us cases from all the jurisdictions in the world He worked smart and influenced most of us to do so The lord gives and takes Just like Martha said to Jesus “ lord if you were here my brother would not have died ….Jesus said to her your brother will rise “ John 11:21,23
