Acting Chief Justice Philomena Mwilu has called for full reopening of courts across the country. Mwilu said she has been receiving complaints from court users about how their cases had stalled as a result of courts not working fully. She spoke at a Mombasa hotel while opening the annual judges conference on Wednesday. In some instance, the acting CJ said, court users had been completely locked out amid claims that the courts were not operating. She said court users had accused judges of not conducting proper hearings as witnesses were not being heard either physically or virtually.
