The Judiciary has addressed concerns about the downtime of its eFiling system, which has caused worry among Kenyans and lawyers alike.

For much of last week, the Judiciary was criticised on social media for the downtime of the eFiling system, which is a vital part of the digital infrastructure supporting court operations.

Amid concerns that the Judiciary's servers had been compromised, the institution acknowledged the intermittent outages that had been taking place since July 10 2025.

According to the Judiciary, these disruptions, which have affected access to its public-facing digital platforms, including the eFiling system and the Cause List portal, were due to external interference that temporarily compromised network services.
