Sixth, we have improved access to justice. This has been accomplished as the number of judges has increased from 53 to 136; magistrates have shot up from 316 to 443 and Kadhis have increased from 15 to 56. The number of High Court stations has risen from 14 to 34. You will be glad to know that we have High Courts in 34 counties. For the 13 counties that have no judges, we have High Court registries. Court-annexed mediation and alternative justice systems are being piloted. The Court of Appeal has been decentralized to Malindi, Nyeri and Kisumu, and the waiting time in that court for civil matters has reduced from a high of nine years to a low of three to one year. Before, this court used to circuit once or twice a year in these towns. Now the court has a permanent seat and we have achieved a near perfect gender parity in the Judiciary. In 2011, the Court of Appeal had no woman judge; now, out of the 25 judges in the court, eight are women."
