CJ Maraga unveils new Makindu Court Block
Chief Justice David Maraga on Thursday unveiled a newly build Court block at Makindu to enhance access to judicial services.
Maraga promised to post a new magistrate to the court station to expedite cases before the court especially those touching on land cases which are overwhelming.
The CJ was joined by governor Kivutha Kibwana, MPs Patrick Musimba (Kibwezi West), Daniel Maanzo (Makueni) and County MP Rose Museo among other Judicial services.
Maraga said the Judiciary is working hard to devolve as many courts as possible. In Makueni alone, he said Tawa Law Courts building is 99 percent complete while Makueni High Court building is 30 percent complete.
Governor Kibwana urged the Courts to expedite resolution of the numerous land, environmental and sexual offences cases that are so prevalent across the county.
He also called for a review of the current procurement law which makes purchases by government and its agencies so expensive in relation to prevailing market prices.
