The building served as Court of Appeal but was later shut down and the appellate bench moved to Malindi law courts. The facility will be a reprieve for thousands of Mombasa litigants who until now depended on the Malindi court. The president of the Appeal Court Justice William Ouko said the court will officially open its doors in May. Ouko recalled the history of how three judges served in the court 115 years ago. “The judges used to sit in Mombasa twice a year, in January and July," he said.
