GROUP
Chief Justice David Maraga Wednesday left the country for
Kigali, Rwanda where he will attend the 14th annual meeting for the East
African Magistrates and Judges Association (EAMJA).
During the meeting, EAMJA will also hold a conference to deliberate on ways of improving the delivery of justice in the region.
The
theme of the conference will be “Enhancing the use of ICT for an
Effective, Transparent and Accountable Administration of Courts in East
Africa”.
The conference will also be attended by the
chief justices of Uganda and Rwanda and the president of the East
African Court of Justice along with other top judiciary officials from
the region.
BEST PRACTICES
High
Court Judge Luka Kimaru, who is the EAMJA president, said the exchange
of ideas would help member countries borrow best practices from each
other.
“Participants will [get] the opportunity to
build linkages and continue to learn from each other long after the
conference,” he said.
He revealed that the association
strives to bolster judicial independence, eradicate corruption and adopt
best practices in court administration.
Besides
Justice Maraga, others in the Kenyan delegation include Supreme Court
Judge Isaac Lenaola and Chief Registrar of the Judiciary Anne Amadi.
Kenya’s dramatic progress in the adoption of ICT in the delivery of judicial services will be a key focus at the conference.
Participants are drawn from all East African countries with additional representation from members of the Commonwealth.
