Judiciary to Roll Out Courts for Petty Offenders to Ease Congestion - CJ Koome CapitalFMKenya: Kenya
Speaking during the development partners roundtable in support of Social Transformation through Access to Justice in Nairobi, Koome said congestion of the prisons with petty offenders has really hindered the effectiveness of the criminal justice system.
"Towards this end, we intend to establish Courts of Petty Sessions in major urban areas to ease congestion in the criminal justice sector, operationalize instant traffic fines and support family rehabilitation programmes." The Roll out strategy for these courts envisages to start from Nairobi and border towns before they move to other urban areas.
The CJ acknowledged support by the Kingdom of the Netherlands and IDLO which have expressed their intention to support the roll out of the Small Claims Courts in border towns.
