The Kenyan Judiciary has spoken out about the Baby Samantha Pendo case. They say they want to end it fairly and quickly.
The case started in 2017. A court said police were to blame for Baby Pendo's death in 2019. The public prosecutor filed charges against the accused in 2022.
However, the accused filed legal cases in 2022 and 2023, which raised difficult questions about the court's power and laws.
In 2024, judges ruled against the accused's requests. This meant the case could move forward.
The accused then filed more papers, pushing back the court date to January 2025. A judge change moved it again.
The case will start back up on January 29, 2025. Judge Margaret Muigai will be in charge.
The Judiciary says it will do what is right by the law. They want to end the case quickly.
Kisumu's Governor, Anyang Nyong'o, is not happy with the delays. He says they violate human rights.
Nyong'o wants the Chief Justice to make sure the case goes faster. The Chief Justice's name is Martha Koome.
The case is about getting justice for Baby Pendo. Many people want it to be over soon.
