Elderly women disrupted proceedings at Milimani Law Courts Tuesday when they discovered their decades-old land case file had vanished from court records. The protesters expressed outrage over a South C property dispute that has remained unresolved for more than two decades. Court registry officials admitted they could not locate documentation related to the longstanding matter. The demonstration attracted attention from court users and bystanders who recorded the incident on mobile devices. Police officers attempted to restore order while urging the group to address their concerns through proper channels.
The frustrated litigants appealed directly to Chief Justice Martha Koome for intervention in their stalled case. Some demonstrators also called upon President William Ruto to address what they characterized as systematic judicial delays. The women displayed visible distress as they voiced complaints about repeated court postponements and administrative failures. Their property dispute has generated numerous court appearances without meaningful progress toward resolution. The protesters hoped senior judicial officials would prioritize their case and prevent additional delays.
