Chief Justice Martha Koome has urged judges to champion the multi-door approach to the delivery of justice and embrace the technological advancements intended to support the efficiency of court processes in order to expand the frontiers of justice.

Speaking during the opening of the High Court Leaders Conference in Kisumu, the Chief Justice said technological advancements and operational strategies are not just about enhancing efficiency; but they are also about transforming the way that justice is administered.

To achieve this, she urged the judges to embrace a broader interpretation of the judicial role, as outlined in the Constitution, beyond mere arbiter of disputes. The Chief Justice said a significant leap forward has been made with regards to leveraging technology as an enabler for the efficiency of our operations.

"We are also embracing technology to ensure the accurate and prompt transcription of court proceedings. With the establishment of a pilot transcription centre, we are set to offer transcription services across the country, aiming to alleviate the workload on our judges and judicial officers and expedite the hearing process," the Chief Justice added.

She added that these enhancements are pivotal in ensuring the reliability of data, which is indispensable for informed policy-making and tracking the progress of our institutional development efforts.There was a problem processing your submission. Please try again later.
