The Law Society of Kenya (LSK) and the Judiciary held a consultative meeting on Tuesday aimed at addressing persistent challenges in the administration of justice.
The session was attended by LSK President Faith Odhiambo, Senior Counsel Ahmednasir Abdullahi, Philip Murgor, Nelson Havi, and Chief Justice Martha Koome.
Faith Odhiambo shared on social media that the discussions focused on progress made in implementing reforms previously highlighted by the LSK.
“We pointed out all complaints and concerns that were raised previously but are yet to be conclusively resolved. The Chief Justice equally provided an update on what they have and intend to do to settle outstanding matters,” Odhiambo wrote.
She reaffirmed the LSK’s commitment to closing gaps in the justice system and ensuring accountability.
Chief Justice Koome, in her own statement, emphasized that the meeting was part of the Judiciary’s ongoing engagement with legal stakeholders to enhance access to justice.
“The engagement focused on strengthening collaboration between the LSK, justice sector actors, and the Judiciary, addressing concerns about corruption in the administration of justice, systemic and practical barriers to justice delivery, and exploring shared solutions to enhance efficiency, integrity, public confidence, and the rule of law,” Koome stated.
The meeting comes amid growing concerns over delayed court processes, corruption allegations, and limited public access to legal remedies.
Both the LSK and the Judiciary acknowledged that while some reforms have been initiated, several critical issues remain unresolved.
This meeting marks another step in collaborative efforts to ensure that Kenya’s courts are accessible, accountable, and responsive to citizens’ needs.
