Long judicial processes and understaffed courts are some of the reasons why most Kenyans have resorted to seek justice the traditional way.
A report by the Kenya National Human Rights Commission (KNHCR) shows that courts have ceased being dependable due to the huge backlog of cases. This has been compounded by the poor judge-population ration of 1:324,000 and magistrate-population ration of 1:97,000 which simply mean the judicial system is acutely understaffed against a population of 45 million persons.
