President William Ruto has pledged to work collaboratively with the country’s judiciary and legal community to make the justice ecosystem accessible to all.

According to Ruto, such partnerships are beneficial when conducted transparently in the public interest.

“We remain committed to collaborating with the judiciary and legal fraternity to build a more accessible, empathetic and effective justice ecosystem that delivers justice to all in a timely, fair, efficient and accessible manner,” Ruto said.

The President insisted that effective collaboration in the national interest is essential to achieving the transformative vision of the Constitution.

He noted that through collaboration, the executive found an opportunity to engage with the legislature and judiciary on the national budget and support the expansion of the infrastructure of the judiciary, among other issues.

“No institution or body is whole or viable in isolation. I am encouraged by the increased confidence with which different branches of government are exploring areas of partnership and collaboration, breaking down long-standing barriers to unleash the power of institutional synergy.

“Each branch of government plays an important role in supporting the Supreme Court, as it directs the judiciary in the delivery of justice,” Ruto added.

He further noted that his administration was keen to work with the judiciary to continue to develop a justice system that honors the aspirations of all Kenyans and respects the Constitution.

“We must work in unity and with a single purpose to ensure that the Supreme Court remains a beacon of integrity, a trusted guardian of our rights and freedoms, a champion of the rule of law and a leading force in progressive production. jurisprudence in Africa and around the world.
