The Chief Justice also noted that the Judiciary will introduce a ‘Tracking Dashboard’ to enhance operational efficiency and transparency in the courts.

“This innovative tool will enable the Judiciary’s leadership and court leaders to monitor court activities and outputs in real-time, providing immediate insights and trend analysis into the performance of our courts and facilitating informed decision-making,” said Koome.

She further disclosed the Judiciary will roll out new features such as the publication of rulings and judgments, along with Automated Daily Court Reporting which would address the discrepancies previously experienced in the Case Tracking System (CTS).

“These enhancements are pivotal in ensuring the reliability of our data, which is indispensable for informed policy-making and tracking the progress of our institutional development efforts,” CJ Koome added.
