The Judiciary has announced a 99 per cent reduction in the backlog of cases through the use of modern technology.
Speaking in Naivasha during the conclusion of a five-day magistrates' conference, Deputy Chief Justice Philomena Mwilu revealed that out of 181,439 cases filed between July and December 2024, a total of 179,377 cases had been resolved.
She highlighted that employing technology had made this possible and urged judicial officers to manage court processes by using all the tools at their disposal for effectiveness.
Mwilu, however, expressed concerns over the ongoing budget cuts, warning that this trend could undermine the progress made thus far, particularly in the training of staff to effectively utilise digital tools.
