The Judiciary has begun the journey towards normalcy after courts resumed operations under strict observance of Covid-19 safety guidelines on Monday. This is in adherence to a communique which was issued by the Judiciary on Saturday, June 13, stating the intention to upscale the operations of the courts. “…priority would be given to cases whose hearings were affected by the scaling down of court operations on March 16, 2020. For civil cases, courts have contact details of parties and advocates…who are advised to wait to be contacted by the courts,” the statement read. The upscaling of operations comes nearly two months after Chief Justice David Maraga announced changes and downscaling of court operations to ease compliance with Covid-19 safety rules.
