The magistrate has instead asked investigating officers to prepare adequately whenever a matter is coming up to court "The complaint of Kenyans is that they come to court and their matter is delayed," Hon.
said adding that the non-adjournment policy will be adhered to so that when a matter is listed for hearing, it should proceed as per the timeline for better administration of justice The senior principal magistrate who was speaking during the Court Users Committee (CUC) deliberations said any matter before court should proceed, be withdrawn, or be dismissed but not adjourned except only under deserving circumstances that will be considered.
