Martha Koome wants judges to handle cases better. The Chief Justice says courts must deliver judgments within 60 days after hearings end. Many people complain about waiting over a year for their cases. Last week, she spoke at the Annual High Court Leaders Conference in Mombasa. Koome called for quick action plans to speed up judgment delivery.
Family, succession, and commercial cases need fast solutions because they affect people deeply. The Chief Justice is especially worried about uncontested succession matters, where nobody disagrees, but families still wait years. She also talked about fake middlemen hanging around courts. These imposters harm the judiciary's reputation with the public. Koome asked judges to remove these brokers from court buildings.
The Chief Justice contacted anti-corruption officials to investigate these fake helpers. She announced new integrity committees at every High Court location. These groups will bring together different justice agencies to fight corruption problems. During the conference, judges reviewed 120 case files. They placed 49 offenders in rehabilitation programs instead of jail. Twenty prisoners earned release after showing they could rejoin society safely.
