Chief Justice Martha Koome has urged the Judiciary to strengthen public confidence by making justice more accessible, fair and responsive to the needs of ordinary Kenyans.
Koome said public trust depended on citizens’ everyday experiences with the courts, noting that promises of justice must be matched by fairness, dignity and respect in service delivery.
Speaking at the Global Trust Summit during a session on “Rebuilding Trust from the Frontline”, the Chief Justice maintained that judicial independence was a constitutional guarantee for the people, ensuring that justice remained impartial regardless of an individual’s wealth, social status or proximity to power.
