The Judiciary has announced plans to revamp security around law courts and its judicial officers following the recent torching of court buildings in Nairobi.
Chief Registrar Winfridah Mokaya confirmed the move on Thursday, July 10, during a visit to assess courts that were vandalised during a wave of protests witnessed over the past two weeks.
Mokaya stated that, as part of efforts to enhance security, the Judiciary had set aside a budget specifically designated for the safety of judicial officers. "We have set aside a budget to be able to enhance the security of the court so that the premises can be protected and ensure there is safety," Mokaya said, insisting that the safety of judicial staff and the courts would be a top priority going forward.
