My heartfelt condolences to the family of the late Judge of Appeal.
You were not only a distinguished judge but also a remarkable mentor.
Always full of humor and cheer.You always brought lightness even to the weightiest of matters.
You stood firm in your convictions and expressed yourself with eloquence and grace.
Your polished command of the English language was truly admirable.
May your soul rest in eternal peace.
Dear JA Fred Ochieng
I knew you when you were posted to Eldoret High Court as the Resident Judge then, your firm yet kind leadership was greatly felt. Staff meetings were so enjoyable ,because of your great sense of humour, you were never confined in your chamber, at your free time you walked around the registries to see how litigants are being served as you interacted with staff. I am where I am today because you inspired most of us to pursue further studies. Your leadership in Mediation shall be missed.
Your Legacy will live on.
RIEP JA!

Fare thee well Judge
You were a fine legal mind, great Judge and a happy soul. You were a friend and mentor to many of us. Rest in peace
While we mourn the loss of a respected jurist, we also celebrate his profound and lasting legacy. Judge Ochieng was a true pioneer and champion for Alternative Dispute Resolution. His unwavering belief in **Mediation** as a tool for justice not only resolved countless disputes but also fundamentally changed our legal community for the better. His wisdom, patience, and innovative spirit inspired all of us who had the privilege to appear before him or learn from him.
As an Advocate and a Mediator, I held Judge Ochieng in the highest esteem. He was not just a supporter of alternative dispute resolution; he was its champion. His vision and dedication from the bench gave credibility and momentum to the entire practice, encouraging a more compassionate and efficient path to justice for countless individuals and corporates. He will be deeply missed, but his foundational contributions will never be forgotten.
I will always remember him for his keen intellect and his profound commitment to justice, which was exemplified by his pioneering role as Chairman of the COURT ANNEXED MEDIATION TASKFORCE. He understood that true justice wasn't always found in a verdict, but often in a resolution. He leaves behind a legacy of peace, fairness, and innovation that will continue to influence our legal system for generations to come.
Wishing his Family and loved Ones strength and peace.
May the Good Judge's Soul Rest in Eternal Peace 🕊️🕊️🕊️
May the Good God grant the Family, colleagues and friends Grace.
Shalom
Tribute to Hon. Mr. Justice Fredrick Ochieng’ Andago, Judge of the Court of Appeal, Kenya
On behalf of the Wapatanishi Association of Kenya, I convey our deepest condolences on the passing of Hon. Mr. Justice Fredrick Ochieng' Andago, Judge of the Court of Appeal of Kenya.
Justice Andago will be remembered as a distinguished jurist, a defender of justice, and a pillar of integrity in Kenya' judiciary. His judgments reflected deep intellect, fairness, and an unwavering commitment to the rule of law. He not only upheld the Constitution but also inspired confidence in the administration of justice across the nation.
We also celebrate his strong belief in Mediation and Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR). Justice Andago consistently championed mediation as an effective tool for decongesting courts, promoting reconciliation, and ensuring that justice was not only done but also preserved relationships among disputing parties. His vision aligned with our mission as Wapatanishi, and his voice will continue to inspire the mediation movement in Kenya and beyond.
To the legal fraternity, he was a mentor and a source of wisdom; to the people of Kenya, he was a true guardian of justice. His passing is not only a loss to the Judiciary but also to all Kenyans who value fairness, accountability, and good governance.
As Wapatanishi Association of Kenya, we honor his legacy of truth, courage, humility, and innovation in justice delivery. We stand in solidarity with his family, colleagues, and the entire nation during this difficult time.
May his soul rest in eternal peace.
Signed,
CPM, CAMDR Evans MWENDWA Mualuko
