Deputy Chief Justice (DCJ) Philomena Mwilu has called on Heads of Court Stations to strengthen the supervision of registry operations to boost court efficiency and service delivery.
Mwilu said this during the closing ceremony of the 12th Annual Heads of Station Forum held in a hotel in Wote town in Makueni County where she stressed that the productivity of any court is closely tied to the efficiency of its registry. "No matter how competent and industrious a judge or judicial officer may be, if the registry is inefficient for whatever reason, that court will also be unproductive," Mwilu stated.
She commended this year's forum for focusing on registry operations, describing it as a critical area in the administration of justice. "It is imperative that we get things right at our registries," she emphasized.
The Deputy Chief Justice urged heads of station to actively supervise registry staff, particularly to ensure that court fees are correctly assessed-especially before decrees are issued.
