The Constitution of Kenya 2010 gave the impetus to reform and restructure the country’s justice sector, to enable it play a key role in advancing and stabilising our democracy.

Besides the constitutional imperative to deliver efficient service, the public demanded an efficient, effective and responsive institution. The Judiciary, being a key player in the Justice System, embarked on a transformation path that has seen it reform the way justice is delivered to the people and restore public faith and confidence.
