Justice Jemimah Keli has stepped aside from a case challenging the recruitment of engineers and directors by the Kenya Rural Roads Authority (Kerra) after the petitioner, the Institution of Engineering Technology of Kenya (IET-K), questioned her impartiality.

The Employment and Labour Relations Court judge recused herself despite rejecting claims of actual bias, saying the applicant was convinced it would not receive justice before her.
