Chief Justice Dr. Flavian Zeija has unveiled three major judicial reform instruments aimed at strengthening accountability, improving service delivery and reducing case backlog, setting the tone for his tenure.
The launch came hours after he presided over his first session of a presidential election petition.
Yesterday evening, Zeija launched the Judiciary Client Charter, the Judicial Service Delivery Standards and the Judiciary Strategic Plan Six for 2025/2026–2029/2030. He described the documents as a contract between the judiciary and the public.
Speaking at the launch, Zeija said the Client Charter clearly spells out service timelines, including how long court users should wait for services and the expected duration for concluding cases.
Zeija, said the Judiciary strategic plan assesses the judiciary’s past performance, sets future priorities, outlines financing requirements, identifies risks and provides a monitoring and evaluation framework. End
