The Commission on Administrative Justice (CAJ) has commended the Judiciary for their prompt action after a recent intervention by the commission on behalf of beneficiaries of the estate of a late Kenyan man.
In a notice dated April 22, the ombudsman noted that the judiciary had released all legal documents requested by the family, an action the commission saw as a testament to its commitment to "transparency and accountability". "The Commission on Administrative Justice commends the Judiciary for demonstrating a positive commitment to transparency and accountability in a recent case involving a request for information under the Access to Information Act, 2016," part of the statement read.
CAJ revealed that it had received a complaint from the beneficiaries of the estate on April 4, claiming that the judiciary had not released the requested legal items.
