• 20 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a)The criminal appeal cases pending before the Kenyan appellate courts are as per the attached list. However, the details of the parties and the dates of the filing of the criminal appeals before the High Court are not currently available due to the manual filing system of recording in the Judiciary. This challenge is being addressed through the reforms being undertaken in the Judiciary.

• 20 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, what has been said by my colleague is indeed true. This House, on 29th of May, was able to pass the Judicature Amendment Bill which has already been assented to by His Excellency the President in which case, we will be able to increase the number of judges from 70 currently to 150 and those in the Court of Appeal from 14 to 30. On when this will be done, I am aware that as we are talking now, the Judicial Service Commission is beginning to advertise for these positions. This then will really be ... view
• 20 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is not just Mombasa. It is really from all our courts. I may not be able to give a specific date or time when this will be done but I can assure the House and the nation at large that this is an issue that we are taking very seriously because indeed, as he says, justice delayed is justice denied. We are not going to rest until we ensure that this is done. The Judiciary has already advertised, inviting all Kenyans who have their cases pending in court to come forward and tell the ... view

• 20 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: (JTF), which is meant to take four years to implement. I have the document here, which was circulated to Members of Parliament while we were in Mombasa. This will be done within a period of three years. So, we will be able to completely undertake the reforms within this period. Of course, this will be done on piecemeal basis and in a progressive manner. So, this will ultimately be done within a span of two to three years, as per the JTF. While we were in Mombasa, the Chief Justice himself gave a copy of this document to every Member ... view
• 20 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, indeed, part of the reforms being undertaken under the JTF is computerisation of our registries, so that litigants can track their cases online. The Judiciary has been allocated Kshs15.7 billion in the 2012/2013 Budget. Part of that Budget is supposed to enable the Judiciary to computerise the entire court system. So, this will be done in the 2012/2013 financial year. Computerisation of the court system is very important in the reforms we are undertaking. view
• 20 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, yesterday, I was with the Attorney-General here. I raised this issue with him, and he confirmed to me that the positions will be advertised from next week. Therefore, in the course of this month, we are going to roll out the advertisements. We were waiting for the President to assent to the Judicature Bill into law, which he did on Friday. So, beginning next week, we will roll out the advertisements. I would like to call upon qualified Kenyans to apply for the jobs, so that we can have an adequate number of judges to ... view
