Chief Justice Martha Koome has said lack of resources and political goodwill has hindered the Judiciary's fight against Transnational Organised Crimes (TOC) and illicit financial flows.

Justice Koome said TOC and illicit financial flows are evolving and adapting new opportunities and technologies that has seen criminals exploit gaps and weaknesses in national and international laws, regulations and cooperation mechanisms.
