Chief Justice (CJ) Martha Koome has ordered the Court of Appeal judges to hear and determine cases within a year of their filing.

She said the move will ensure that cases backlog are dealt with, noting that there are about 1,500 pending appeal cases in Nakuru. Koome issued the directives yesterday as she launched the Court of Appeal, Nakuru Station.
