Kenya should have more administrative hearings to decongest the court. Administrative hearings handles very high volumes and can hire private lawyers as part time employee's paying them per hour without the expensive benefits that the Magistrates are entitled to. In NBO and major towns, you can have night courts running as late as 12 midnight. Plea deals can be handled by the clerks on the side and signed off by the hearing officers. Local governments should use the traffic courts to collect much needed revenue instead of letting these monies end up in the pockets of policemen and magistrates. The National government should let the counties deal with traffic cases and only collect 10% or 0 percent from what the local governments collect. This way, counties can make the hearings more efficient as a way of collect much needed monies.
Yeah Judges and magistrate are very corrupt. I have had a court clerk solicit a bribe. Kenya ni system ya majambazi.
Am suprised they still work 9a-5pm!!!
They still treat traffic offences as a serious criminal offence rather than a minor crime
counties will be more efficient
Yes, traffic offences are serious.
I was cuffed and thrown into Milimani basement cells for hours, yet I had parked my ride at the police station
My crime?
Obstruction by Changing lanes in the roundabout.....basically an awkward turn in a roundabout.
My ride had an accident the previous evening and my lights were malfunctioning so I struggled giving signals. I was coming from insurance assessment of the damage. Unremarkable
