AfricaPress-Kenya:<\/strong> Chief Justice David Maraga leaves office on Friday next week pending his retirement.<\/p>\n

Maraga yesterday said a handover ceremony will be held on January 10, next year.<\/p>\n

Speaking in Nakuru when he inaugurated a Sh347 million court building, the CJ said he would settle at his home in the county, where he practised law for years.<\/p>\n

\u201cI plan to retire here in Nakuru where I practised law for 25 years before I became a judge.<\/p>\n

“Nakuru has a special place in my heart and that is why I decided to have this function today as the last major public engagement of my career as the CJ,\u201d Maraga said.<\/p>\n

The CJ said he has overseen the setting up of 43 High Court stations in 42 counties and he intends to open three magistrate court stations before he leaves.<\/p>\n

The new building has eight courts that will host High Courts and the Courts of Appeal. The building has 12 chambers for the judges.<\/p>\n

Maraga said the law courts will host judicial partners, the Director of Public Prosecutions, prisons officers, probation offices and the police.<\/p>\n

Nakuru Governor Lee Kinyanjui said the county will install WiFi services to enable litigants attend cases virtually as Kenya battles Covid-19.<\/p>\n

Kinyanjui said the county will open Nyayo Gardens as a place where court users will rest as they wait for their cases to be heard.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe intend to construct roads to enable litigants and judicial officers to travel from Nakuru to Nairobi with ease,\u201d Kinyanjui said.<\/p>\n

Construction works<\/p>\n

Lawyer Kipkoech Ngetich from Law Society of Kenya said the initiative will ensure the security of all parties in a case.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the old court, a magistrate was stabbed, suspects attempted escape and other warring parties exchanged blows.<\/p>\n

“However, the new building has structures and space to ensure all litigants and judicial officers are secure,\u201d Ngetich said.<\/p>\n

The project was funded by the World Bank in a five-year plan under the Judicial Performance Improvement Programme.<\/p>\n

The project includes modern multi-storied buildings to host High Courts in Mombasa, Kakamega, Siaya, Nakuru, Voi and Garissa counties.<\/p>\n

The CJ and his team have been traversing the country to commission pending construction works.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
