Launched the construction of a new court building at the Eldoret Law Courts this afternoon, in a bid to realise the goal of deepening access to justice. The new complex will address the challenges of space by providing modern, enabling amenities for an expanded workforce.
As of December 2021, the number of pending cases at the Eldoret Law Courts were 2,107 in the High Court, 684 in the Employment and Labour Relations Court, 1061 in the Environment and Land Court and 15,327 in the Magistrates’ Courts.
Engaged Judges, Judicial Officers and Judiciary Staff on mechanisms to reduce this case backlog while cognisant that the human resource constraints present a huge impediment to the dispensation of duty at the station.
Recognised support by the National Treasury to fund construction of the Court complex, demonstrating our shared obligation in realising the right to access to justice by all the Arms of Government.
We are committed to work together in a cooperative and collaborative spirit to ensure that we bring justice closer to our people. We will hold service weeks to clear the backlog of cases in Eldoret, some of which have been pending for over 15 years.
The Small Claims Courts Registry in Eldoret is now operational. I urge the people of Uasin Gishu to embrace these game changing courts and make use of the flexible and simple procedures personifying the court.
