“I visited Makadara Law Courts this afternoon to gauge the security improvements and efficiency of service to the people. As we conclude preparations to issue the State of the Judiciary and Administration of Justice Report, we are cognisant of the milestones realised in the FY 2023/24 to bring justice closer to the people. Magistrates Courts have recorded a case clearance rate of 98% with continued improvement. The Judiciary’s commitment is to decongest courts in Nairobi, especially Makadara.” Posted Koome.
“We are working round the clock to address the space and infrastructure challenges at Makadara to enhance the quality and efficiency of service delivery. We will continue to work with other justice actors through the court users committees to address reported inefficiencies in handling criminal cases, particularly timely plea taking and bail/bond procedures.” Added Koome.
