    "content": "The other issue is the management of the cases in court. There is a good reform that was introduced by the former CJ, Justice Gicheru that there should be pre-trial directions before a case starts. That would ensure that there will be minimal adjournments in cases because once the case is set for hearing, all the parties will be ready to proceed. But we are also seeing that in some cases, pre-trials are done and yet the cases are adjourned every other time, hence creating a backlog. That should be strictly followed. Once a matter has been confirmed for hearing through a pre-trial direction, that matter must proceed unless there are compelling reasons to adjourn. This will help in the reduction of backlog of cases."
