According to Chief Justice David Maraga, alternative conflict resolution mechanisms will ease congestion in courts and prisons.

Speaking on Sunday in Eldoret, Maraga said that such a move will give the judiciary an ample time to handle the backlog.

He acknowledged the Uasin Gishu county government for setting aside land that will be used to construct a Magistrate’s Court.

“I’m happy to confirm that Uasin Gishu County has set aside a two-acre piece of land in Moiben to be used for the construction of a Resident Magistrate’s Court to save residents the cost of travelling all the way to town to get judicial services,” CJ Maraga said.
