May the heavens open up to receive Maj, and his soul rest in eternal peace.
I mourn a friend and a great jurist I always looked up to. The first time I appeared before him, he determined an application that had been pending in court for 2 years in a week. In December last year, we ate Mbuzi as he percolated nuggets of wisdom. Rest in peace the ideal Kenyan Jurist. I will miss you Maj.
Undoubtedly the death of Hon. justice Majanja is a big loss to the juriciary fraternity. The Hon. Jushe exhibited great competence, diligence, professionalism and integrity while in service. We thank Allah for bestowing on him these attributes. His sudden death is a big loss and it has thrown the entire judiciary into deep mourning. My thoughts and prayers are with the family and relatives at this difficult time. May Allah the Almighty grant him eternal rest.
The loss is immeasurable, may his Lordship soul rest in peace.
The Death of Judge Majanja is Like Snow Falling on the Most Beautiful Rose of all the Field during Winter. I Think about the Family and Wish Them Hope in the Midist of Sorrow and Comfort in the Midist of Pain. May the Almighty God Comfort the Family and Rest His Soul in Eternal Peace. Abenayo Wasike
Your legacy lives on Judge. Go well and may God almighty rest you in EP.
Justice Manjaja is known for his humility and intelligence of a noble gesture. His approach to justice likely left a lasting impact on those who appeared before him and on the legal profession as a whole. It's a reminder of the importance of fairness and wisdom in our judicial system. RIP
Gone too soon! You had the cleanest of hearts. You looked out for me always. You did everything meticulously. You blended with everyone. I shall sincerely miss you David. May your soul rest in eternal peace.
I will greatly miss you .You were a gentleman .Hardworking person and generous . I recall when you were the PJ Kisii High court how you build a coalition and you reduce the case backlog . It is God who will reward you after this life. Go well judge .
You ran a good race Maj, rest well my friend. We will miss you.
We have lost a jurist. May Judge's soul be received by the angels. RIP Maj.
You were a mighty and giant legal mind. A jurist per excellence.You cared sincerely and deeply for all those you met along your life. You have been the proverbial big brother to me and many others who were lucky to have interacted with you. I am richer for having met you. Fare well your Lordship. Until we meet again!
Having sat next to him at the JSC on two occasions, I felt like I had a friend in the panel. And though I knew him from having gone to parklands in the same years, I doubt that was the reason I felt that way; he just had a way of making everyone feel at ease. Sometimes I'm not sure exactly what the phrase means, but a soul like that will surely rest in peace. As surely as his legacy will live on
Your Lordship Majanja. Or Maj as I have known you since 1988 when I met you at The School. You were in Form Two while I was in Form One. I recall your sonorous deep bass voice. You sang so well. We met again at Parklands Law School. It immediately became clear to me how much you loved the law and how good at it you were. In 1997, I recall you visiting Tony Burugu at Mungai & Gakuru Advocates where I was doing pupillage. You were then at Mohammed & Muigai Advocates. The lively legal and life in the legal field discussions we held taught me so much and prepared me for the life in future. We kept on interacting after that, meeting at the airport, in court etc. You moved to the bench and I remember arguing the petition on the Leadership and Integrity Act before you in 2012. It was a challenging and enjoyable legal experience. We last met barely a month ago at the Kisumu Public Service Club. It was in the evening and you were on your way to your rural home hence declined to join my team for dinner. But you were in such a jolly mood and kept smiling. You said a few encouraging words to the young Advocates I was with then took your leave. Little did I know that the night marked our final farewell. Rest in peace Maj. Rest in peace Your Lordship Justice Majanja.
