Chief Justice Martha Koome has announced a string of measures to improve the speed and efficiency of the Judiciary in resolving court cases.
Koome, who has come under fire in recent months, spoke at the Employment and Labour Relations Court (ELRC) Judges' Conference on Monday, April 7, where she admitted the Judiciary was struggling in several notable aspects.
Headlining the list of areas of improvement is the speed at which court cases are resolved.
According to the CJ, the focus will be shifted to case management as she noted the delays in solving cases were severely eroding public confidence in the Judicial system. "We meet at a time when the Judiciary has been placed under intense public scrutiny across the country," the CJ noted. "As we are all aware, concern has been raised about timelines and integrity among a few within our ranks." Chief Justice Martha Koome speaking during a JSC interview on March 3, 2021.
