Chief Justice Martha Koome has outlined a raft of reforms aimed at accelerating the resolution of court cases and restoring public confidence in the Judiciary.
Speaking on Monday, April 7, during the Employment and Labour Relations Court (ELRC) Judges’ Conference, Koome acknowledged the Judiciary’s struggles in key operational areas, notably the backlog and sluggish pace of case resolution.
“Our focus is now squarely on improving case management,” she said, stressing that delays in dispensing justice were eroding public trust in the judicial system. She cited frequent adjournments as a major stumbling block, noting that the issue was not just technical, but also administrative in nature.
The CJ emphasized the need for efficiency and accountability across all levels of the Judiciary, stating, “We must ensure that court users are not subjected to unnecessary delays or procedural frustrations.”
