For the fourth time, the Kericho High Court has postponed the delivery of judgment in Constitutional Petition No. E006 of 2024 against John Chebochok, the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC), Kenya Tea Development Agency Holdings, the Tea Board of Kenya and Tegat Tea Factory. The judgment has now been rescheduled for 19th February 2026 at the Kericho High Court.

The Kericho High Court is set to deliver judgment in Constitutional Petition No. 006 of 2024 against John Chebochok, Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC), Kenya Tea Development Agency Holdings, Tea Board of Kenya and Tegat Tea Factory today at 2:30PM.

The Kericho High Court is scheduled to deliver judgment in Constitutional Petition No. 006 of 2024 against John Chebochok, the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC), Kenya Tea Development Agency Holdings, the Tea Board of Kenya, and Tegat Tea Factory on 18th December 2025.

This matter has faced several postponements, prolonging an already exhausting legal process. Each delay has deep consequences, not just procedurally but humanly. For survivors and affected communities, repeated adjournments mean extended uncertainty, emotional strain and a justice system that feels distant and unresponsive to their pain.

As we await this judgment, it is important to remember that justice delayed is not neutral. It weighs heavily on survivors who are forced to relive harm while waiting for accountability.

Congratulations to the entire team at Maisha Girls Safe House on this incredible milestone.

The launch of the new Safe House is not just a physical expansion, it’s a powerful symbol of hope, healing and resilience for survivors of sexual violence and human trafficking. We celebrate this step forward in ensuring that every survivor has access to safety, dignity and the support they need to rebuild their lives.

We are proud to stand in solidarity with you in advancing survivor-centered care and creating a Kenya where women and girls can live free from violence.

Once again, the Judgement for Constitutional Petition E006 of 2024 has been postponed.

The judgment is now scheduled for 18th December 2025 at the Kericho High Court.

This case represents more than legal paperwork, it is about dignity, safety and the right of women workers in tea plantations to live and work free from sexual violence and exploitation.

We urge the Kenya Judiciary to prioritize this matter and deliver a survivor-centered judgment that restores trust, upholds human rights and affirms that impunity has no place in Kenya.

Survivors must not wait another day.

Justice delayed is justice denied.

We are calling Kenya Judiciary to deliver a survivor-centered judgment one that upholds dignity, accountability and the rule of law.

The Kericho High Court has once again postponed the delivery of judgment in Constitutional Petition E006 of 2024, a case against John Chebochok, Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission(IEBC), Kenya Tea Development Agency Holdings (KTDA), Tea Board of Kenya and Tegat/Toror Tea Factory.

The ruling, which was expected today (25th September 20250 has now been rescheduled to 6th November 2025.

For survivors in the tea sector, each postponement is more than a procedural delay, it is a painful reminder of how long justice takes to arrive. Institutions failed to protect them in the past; the judiciary now carries the responsibility to ensure their voices are not silenced again.

As a Coalition Against Sexual Violence Kenya, we continue to stand in solidarity with survivors, demanding accountability, dignity and justice.

1 DAY TO JUDGMENT

Tomorrow, the Kericho High Court will deliver its ruling on Constitutional Petition E006 of 2024, a case born out of the BBC Africa exposé that exposed the sexual exploitation of women in the tea sector.

Now, the Judiciary carries the final responsibility. Will it continue the cycle of silence or break it by standing with survivors?

All eyes are on Kericho High Court, 25th September 2025.

Following the BBC News Africa exposé on sexual exploitation in tea estates, the Coalition Against Sexual Violence Kenya filed a Constitutional Petition to block John Chebochok’s candidacy at Toror Tegat Tea Factory and to hold accountable the institutions that cleared him.

On 25th September 2025, the Kericho High Court will deliver its judgment. This moment is bigger than one individual, it will test whether Kenya protects survivors or protects abusers in power.

Survivors have waited too long.

A certificate of good conduct is not a moral shield. It only confirms the absence of criminal convictions—not integrity, not ethical leadership, and certainly not respect for survivors. By equating a paper document with “good standing,” Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission(IEBC) reduces Chapter Six of the Constitution to a checklist, ignoring its spirit and intent.

IEBC failed to consider or investigate the serious allegations raised against John Chebochok during its vetting process. An institution cannot claim to protect democracy while turning a blind eye to integrity.

Survivors deserve leaders of integrity, not those hiding behind certificates that fail to reveal patterns of abuse, exploitation or ongoing investigations.

The Kenya Judiciary must hold IEBC accountable for clearing John Chebochok's candidacy.
