Chief Justice Martha Koome has announced the establishment of Court Integrity Users Committees across all court stations nationwide to stamp out corruption within Kenya's judicial system.
The initiative, unveiled during the second Magistrate and Kadhis Colloquium in Naivasha on Tuesday, comes amid growing public scrutiny over allegations of bribery and inefficiency plaguing the judiciary.
Speaking with unwavering resolve, CJ Koome acknowledged the challenges facing the institution, describing the current environment as a moment of reckoning.
She acknowledged renewed accusations of corruption in some court stations, alongside persistent complaints about delayed justice and administrative inefficiencies. "Justice cannot be for sale," she declared, reaffirming the judiciary's zero-tolerance stance on corruption, vowing to implement the policy by deed.
