The Judicial Service Commission approved a new secretariat structure that will obviously increase the National Council on Administration of Justice(NCAJ) number.
Chief Justice David Maraga said on Thursday the new secretariat will be headed by an Executive Director to be enlisted soon in a move meant to “build the capacity of the secretariat to reflect the role and mandate of the council.”
In his opening remarks at the 20th NCAJ in Naivasha, Maraga said the strengthened secretariat will enhance the delivery of the council’s mandate which includes formulating and implementing reforms in the justice sector.
He said the multi-agency council will spearhead key reforms that will enhance efficiency in the ongoing war against corruption.
“It is my singular believe that challenges facing the justice sector can only be addressed when we come up with practical solutions on how to address the challenges we face,” the CJ underscored.
Maraga urged the council consisting of 11 State actors including the State Law Office, National Police Service, and the Prisons Service to work closely in a bid to enhance efficiency in the justice sector.
Judiciary has also resolved to use a collaborative approach in dealing with corruption cases.
Chief Justice David Maraga said the Council on Administration of Justice will set up a committee to identify key challenges and make proposals that will produce greater efficiencies in fighting graft.
This he said will accelerate efficiency in the delivery of service to Kenyans.
