The Judiciary has announced plans to hold public participation forums to gather Kenyans' views on strategies to enhance its efficiency and restore public confidence, following growing criticism over its performance and fairness.
In an internal memo seen by Kenyans.co.ke, Judiciary Chief Registrar Winfridah Mokaya directed all judicial heads and heads of stations to organise public barazas across court stations to collect feedback from the public. "It is in pursuance of this vision that the Judiciary Leadership directed that the inaugural Judiciary Dialogue Day be held on 31st January 2025 in all court stations across the country," the memo read in part. "The purpose of the event is to provide an open forum where the Judiciary explains its services and processes to stakeholders and members of the public.
Equally important is to provide a forum to receive feedback on the services that the Judiciary offers.
It is envisaged that the day will henceforth be observed annually," it added.
