In the last 2-3 years, We have appointed 100s of judges to the Court of Appeal, High Court, Environment and Land Court and Employment and Labour Court and things are getting worse and worse...(and for once I'm not even complaining about JurisPESA problem and judges giving orders in the wee hours of mornings on a weekend). At this rate we may as well close our courts. Nothing is really working in our courts...no hearings...no judgments...no rulings...just adjournments....adjournment....and mentions....workshops....retreats....benchmarking etc...Surely, why are judges and magistrates refusing to work? What is the problem with our courts? Numbers and work load are no longer the issue or excuses. The judiciary seem to be facing very big problems...the judiciary is facing a systemic and existential leadership problems at all levels. The Court of Appeal is in standstill. Backlog of 5 years is the norm in Nairobi, yet CJ posts 50% of the Court's judges to towns/villages where no appeals have ever been filed....Applications heard in May have ruling dates for November(7 months for a ruling of 10 pages!!!) Similarly, the Commercial Court in Nairobi no longer listens to matters. Matters heard in May have ruling dates for November/December. The problem is everywhere. Surely, things can't go on like this. Yet Nobody is speaking for Kenyans when their judiciary stopped working ages ago. The new leadership in @LawSocietyofKe seems to be preoccupied with things we dont know. Obviously they are not interested in matters judiciary. The Registrars and the CJ probably aren't even aware of what is happening in our courts. So, what can Kenyans do to address the downing of tools by judges. Why isn't the hundreds of judges appointed not improving service delivery? Why can't the CJ and Registrar supervise the judges and explain why a ruling of 10 pages takes 7 months to write? Why are matters adjourned daily and not heard? Why are we having these endless, useless workshops and seminars? Isn't it time the CJ tells Kenyans she can't run the judiciary and that she be put on "lighter duties". We have principal judges for all these courts who have given up on their respective courts. Why don't we have a national convention on the sorrow state of our judiciary? Isn't it the right time for the government to declare the judiciary a national emergency/disaster/calamity...@WilliamsRuto@koske_felix@CJMarthaKoome@Kenyajudiciary@HonWetangula@NelsonHavi@philip_murgor@HonAmasonKingi@omwanza@CaroliOmondi@skmusyoka@MarthaKarua@AbdikadirMohami@jsckenya
The biggest problem today for a litigation Advocate is explaining to the client how a Judge arrived at a manifestly unlawful and unjust decision, why a reasonably early hearing date could not be given by the Court, why the Court gave a further mention in November, 2025 and many stupid happenings in Court. The CJ and Judges really do not care about these concerns we have to deal with everyday. They would rather we deal with the concerns before lay-mediators as they recruit more staff, conference and hold seminars over nothing everyday.
Being a CEC in Nairobi is more lucrative than being a CEO of a blue chip company

Judges are rightfully outraged by counsel citing fictitious cases. We are officers of the court. We don’t cite non-existent cases; we twist real ones into non-existent meanings.
