The Complainant further contends that complaints against the judiciary, which he has submitted on several occasions to bodies such as the Judicial Service Commission, Office of the Chief Justice, Kenya National Commission on Human Rights and Law Society of Kenya have been treated with" disdain, suspicion and contempt ... dismissed or refused without conducting thorough investigations or inquiries">. 35.
