Various stakeholders and residents want the Judicial Service Commission to deploy more judges for the High Court in Murang'a to handle increased case backlog.
During a court open day forum which brought together judicial officers and court users on Friday, it was revealed that the backlog at the local high court stand at 2, 445 active cases with 260 cases being in court for over 10 years.
Residents decried the slow process and delayed conclusion of their cases calling for interventions that would fast track their cases.
Addressing participants of the forum, Chief Magistrate Peter Ndwiga said the high court has been assigned two judges instead of four.
