Judges at Milimani are worried after an officer tested positive for coronavirus on Monday but the Judiciary is yet to shut down the courts. A source who did not want to be named due to the sensitivity of the matter on Tuesday informed the Star that after a senior staffer at Milimani's family division court tested positive judges called an urgent meeting. A report by the Health ministry seen by the Star in June declared some courtrooms in Milimani unsafe. The report discourages the use of magistrates' and judges’ chambers for court proceedings because of inadequacy in size and ventilation. A week ago, three staffers at Makadara court tested positive, forcing the Judiciary to close it for two weeks.
