Lady Justice Caroline Jepyegen Kendagor
Co-Founder
LADY JUSTICE CAROLINE KENDAGOR is a co-founder of the Iriip Gaa Professional Ladies, made history in 2024 when she was appointed as a Judge of the High Court of Kenya, becoming the first High Court Judge from her village in Sangurur, Elgeyo Marakwet County, and the first from the Marakwet community, a marginalized subgroup within the Kalenjin. Her appointment stands as a powerful testament to her resilience, dedication, and unwavering commitment to public service, breaking barriers and inspiring future generations. Before her elevation to the High Court, Justice Kendagor built an impressive career in the judiciary, starting as a District Magistrate II in 2010 and steadily rising through the ranks to become a Senior Principal Magistrate. She also served as an Acting Registrar in Charge of Mediation, where she championed Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR), enhancing judicial efficiency and expanding access to justice for countless Kenyans. Beyond the bench, Justice Kendagor is an active member of the Kenya Magistrates and Judges Association (KMJA), where she once served as Vice President, advocating for judicial welfare and professionalism. She is also a member of the International Association of Women Judges (IAWJ), collaborating with jurists worldwide to uphold judicial integrity, gender equality, and the rule of law. Her remarkable journey—from the humble beginnings of Sangurur village to the High Court bench—epitomizes the transformative power of hard work, perseverance, and visionary leadership. As a trailblazer and role model, particularly for young women and girls from marginalized communities, Justice Kendagor continues to demonstrate that with determination and focus, even the loftiest aspirations in public service are within reach. Her legacy is one of breaking ceilings, fostering justice, and paving the way for a more inclusive judiciary.
