Recently, the media ran a story about Supreme Court judge Njoki Ndung'u allegedly calling on fellow judges to back access to safe abortion in Kenya.

The statement was allegedly made during the annual judges' colloquium that was held in Mombasa last week.

As a follow up, an article was published in The Standard of July 7, 2017, in which a civil society group - the African Organisation for Families - in a petition to the Chief Justice, accused Justice Ndung'u of taking sides in the debate over abortion even though there is an abortion case currently pending in court.
