Chief Registrar of the Judiciary Anne Amadi has announced she is going on terminal leave.
Amadi on Friday said she is going for her terminal leave after 10 years of service to the judiciary.
"Glad to be proceeding on my terminal leave after ten years of service," Amadi said on her X account.
Terminal leave is also known as transition leave or transition time.
In January 2024, Amadi will have her term come to an end.
Amadi has served as the Chief Registrar for the last decade since January 2014.
Bidding her farewell on November 7, Chief Justice Martha Koome said Amadi deserved to be celebrated.
"We are grateful for the service that you have rendered to this country and for seeing NCAJ from nothing when it was established with no infrastructure, human resource or money, to see it standing where we are today," she said.
"We celebrate and thank you from the bottom of our hearts and wish you all the best and pray that God will open other opportunities for you to continue serving the people and your reward shall be in heaven."
The Chief Justice's remarks came shortly after Amadi bid her farewell in an equally emotional way.
"Finally ladies and gentlemen, I exit the stage richer in mind, deeply humbled by the trust placed on me by the people of Kenya," she said.
She expressed her gratitude to the people who helped her as she carried out her duties.
"I leave with mixed feelings on one hand with a sense of pride and satisfaction from the work we have been able to do together but again with an overwhelming sense of loss because through this council we have developed and cultivated deep personal connections with many of you," Amadi said.
"I will greatly miss the time we have had together both on and off work. I hope that our friendship will last."
Amadi wised the Judicial Service Commission's wisdom as they went about choosing her successor for the NCAJ.
"I hope that the person will get the same support I was accorded," she said.
The JSC has already announced the vacancy for the office of Chief Registrar of the Judiciary, which is set to be open on January 13, 2024.
