The JSC today engaged national sports organizations in the selection process for the Chairperson and Members of the Sports Disputes Tribunal. This follows the advertisement of the vacancies on 4th and 19th March 2025. During a consultative meeting held on 28th April 2025, representatives from Sports Kenya, the Anti-Doping Agency of Kenya (ADAK), and the National Olympic Committee of Kenya (NOCK) participated in discussions aimed at informing the recruitment process. The engagement focused on identifying the essential qualifications, relevant experience, and the need for diversity and inclusivity among candidates.
In line with Section 55 of the Sports Act, the JSC is required to appoint members of the Tribunal in consultation with national sports organizations. Recommendations were sought on the key qualities and expertise needed for the roles. Following the consultations, the JSC will proceed with the shortlisting of candidates, reaffirming its commitment to a transparent, merit-based, and inclusive selection process. The Sports Disputes Tribunal plays a critical role in adjudicating conflicts within Kenya’s sports sector and strengthening governance and integrity in sports.
