Nairobi — The Judiciary has introduced an electronic filing system of cases in Nairobi courts.
Chief Registrar of the Judiciary Ann Amadi said the system, which will take effect from July 1, is aimed at increasing efficiency in handling of cases.
"This is a key part of the Judiciary's efforts to increase the use of technology in all its functions and achieve higher levels of efficiency and convenience to our stakeholders," she said.
The Law Society of Kenya (LSK), the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (ODPP), police, and members of the public have been advised to familiarize themselves with the e-filing system by visiting the Judiciary portal ahead of its launch.
Following the outbreak of coronavirus pandemic in the country in mid March, the Judiciary has been stepping up efforts to incorporate the use of technology in delivering services to Kenyans.
