In his inauguration speech on September 13, 2022, President William Ruto said his administration would increase allocations to the Judiciary by Sh3 billion every year in his first term in office.

President Uhuru Kenyatta’s administration was accused of under-funding the Judiciary, hence President Ruto’s promise to give them additional financing when he took over power.
