Philip Kiptoo Tunoi is a Kenyan lawyer and a retired Justice of the Supreme Court of Kenya.
[4] The lawsuit arises from the fact that the Judicial Service Commission had issued two contradictory notices on the age of retirement for judges.
On May 29, 2014, the High Court issued a conservatory injunction prohibiting the Judicial Service Commission from retiring both judges pending the decision of the case.
However, his integrity as a Supreme Court judge came under scrutiny over allegations he had received a substantial bribe to influence an election petition case against Nairobi County governor Evans Kidero that was filed by Ferdinand Waititu.
[6] While the Tribunal was going on with its hearings, Justice Tunoi lost the case he had filed in the courts challenging the attempts to have him retired at 70 years.
