In consequence, she asked for forgiveness from the people of Kenya and said they look forward to God's help in doing better going forward.
"We in the Judiciary stood in the threshold to seek forgiveness and offered confessions because we have not been able to meet the expectations of Kenyans as far as justice is concerned.
"We confess that we have delayed justice, we confessed that we have let murderers and other criminals go scot-free and all our shortcomings and invited God to walk with us."
The national prayer breakfast brought together various leaders in the country including President Uhuru Kenyatta and his deputy William Ruto.
Peace message dominated the prayer breakfast even as the country heads to the elections in August.
