Judicial Performance Improvement Project

Judicial Performance Improvement Project

An unprecedented 123 judges of the superior courts met for the first time at

a conference that replaced the traditional colloquium. Judges of the Supreme Court, the Court of Appeal and the High Court met to discuss judicial review and policy in the context of the Constitution of Kenya, 2010.Key speakers emphasized to the judges the transformative power of the Constitution has the potential to change the Kenyan society. Prof Kwasi Prempeh, who teaches law at Seton Hall University, said the four ingredients for transforming society were a right constitution, the right advocacy, the right moment, and the right jurisprudence – all of which he said, Kenya had.Judges were praised for recognizing that parliamentary supremacy does not exist outside the Constitution, thus giving the Judiciary the mandate to decide whether or not an action was constitutional. Prof James Gathii, who teaches law at Loyola University

School of Law in the United States, said it was not a coincidence that the phrase ‘rule of law’ was repeated seven times in the Constitution. He added that the Constitution requires a body to demonstrate that its exercise of authority is rational.Prof Chaloka Beyani, who was a member of the Committee of Experts that drafted the Constitution and teaches law at the London School of Economics, clarified several points of contention. Earlier, during the opening of the meeting, Chief Justice Willy Mutunga had urged judges to stand up for the transformation, saying, “I am sure that those who seek to take the Judiciary back to the days of phone calls from above, poor remuneration, intimidation and segregationist tendencies will face a fireball of resistance from Kenyans.”He praised the judges for making huge strides in such a short time. Reporting on the previous year’s performance, High Court Principal Judge Richard Mwongo said, “As at the end of June 2014, all judges were filing monthly returns of their

work.”Justice Mwongo also said the Judiciary was increasing its focus on cementing the relationship with counties. “Resident judges will increasingly be called upon to represent the Judiciary in county functions,” he said, adding that several governors had pledged land for building High Court premises in many counties, while others had donated furniture and equipment for recently completed Judiciary buildings.At a special dinner, the judges honoured two of their retiring colleagues – Justice Onyango Otieno of the Court of Appeal and Justice Jonathan Havelock of the High Court. Judges paid glowing tribute for their contribution to the Judiciary.

The National Council for Law Reporting (Kenya Law) is

cascading lessons learnt from their recent trainings to other staff members. A comprehensive plan on how lessons learnt will be implemented has also been developed and will guide the organization in adopting new technical

and service techniques.The soft skills training programmes aimed at equipping eight Kenya Law officers with essential skills for effective organizational and human resource management.The trainings which were conducted by Eastern and Southern African

communities require quick, efficient and affordable outcomes for business and the economy to run smoothly. The Commercial Division is expected to give guidance and resolve disputes using applicable case management systems that will not hinder or slow the economic growth of a nation.The three day workshop was attended by Justice Francis Gikonyo, Justice Erick Ogola and Lady Justice Jackline Kamau who were tasked with the responsibility to provide leadership in the implementation of the various recommendations from the workshop. Others who also were present and made presentations included Hon. Judith Omange, Hon. Reuben Nyakundi, Mr. Enosh Bolo, Mr. Benjamin Kinuthia and the Judicial Performance Improvement Project (JPIP) – Project Coordinator Ms.

The speed and efficiency with which commercial courts

resolve disputes is often a determining factor that contributes to the economic growth of the country. The Commercial Division of the High Court plans to adopt case management systems, rearrange the registry and use technology to improve efficiency, service delivery and dispensation of justice. At a Commercial Division workshop, the Presiding Judge of the Commercial Division, Hon. Justice Fred Ochieng called upon the judicial officers and staff of the Division to develop strategies that would improve the services of the division. All the

officers and staff were provided with an opportunity to reflect on individual and team performance for the Division. Hon. Justice Ochieng reaffirmed to the participants that the workshop is the first step in transforming the Division into a court that is able to deliver on the aspirations of the Kenyan people for a fair, just and equitable society where the rule of law prevailsThe Commercial Division of the High Court was established to provide efficient and effective dispute resolution in commercial cases. The national importance of the Commercial Division cannot be overemphasized. Business

degree of performance competence to participants in their leadership role, placing particular emphasis on planning and implementing positive qualitative change in their organisations.Another two officers attended the Results Based Management Training (Mombasa) where the participants were introduced to the basics of project management, the importance of project risk management and communication planning. The participants learnt how

to monitor and evaluate projects as well as sustain them after their life cycle has ended.Two senior officers underwent training that aimed at enhancing leadership and direction at senior and top management levels. The Senior Management Development Programme (Arusha, Tanzania) assisted participants to increase their knowledge of key management issues and develop critical techniques for effective corporate management.

A communication baseline survey was conducted to assess the

level of awareness of the public about the services offered by the Kangema and Kitui law courts. The survey was undertaken in August and September 2014 by the Project Management Unit (PMU) with assistance from Performance Management Directorate (PMD) and Directorate of Public Affairs and Communication (DPAC). PMU will use the data to develop an appropriate communication strategy to improve the level of awareness on services offered following the rehabilitation of the courts.Kangema and Kitui Law Courts are pilot projects under the Judicial Performance Improvement Project (JPIP) where rehabilitation works of the courts has been ongoing. The rehabilitation works of the courts are expected to improve physical access to the courts, improve

delivery of quality services and access to judicial services.The baseline survey sought to establish whether after completion of the rehabilitation works of the two courts, services will improve. The rehabilitation of the courts involved the rehabilitation/construction of more court rooms, improve the cells facilities, construct a banking hall for quality service delivery, better and bigger registry facilities to accommodate criminal and civil registries, meetings rooms for litigants with their lawyers, prosecutors’ offices and other facilities which will cater for the children and persons with disabilities. The strategy will also seek to enlist public participation through the Court User’s Committees in the development of the court affairs.Preliminary indications from the data

being analyzed are that there is lack of proper understanding of the court process and procedures. The sample size for the survey was 600 respondents consisting of 380 households 180 court users, and 40 employees. The survey gathered information from sampled households in the two pilot areas, litigants and other court users who visited the courts during the survey period, all judiciary employees working in the courts and two focus group discussions with court users’ committee members. The final results of the communication baseline survey will be made available and shared in the pilot areas.

to develop a Draft Finance and Accounting Policy and Procedure Manual which was again reviewed and critiqued by the above mentioned key users. This was done through a two day workshop held from 18th– 19thAugust, 2014. At the end of the workshop, the meeting agreed on the comments and responses from the harmonization forum. The outcome of the workshop is a Gap Analysis report and an updated Finance and Accounting Policy and Manual (Draft 2).The revised Draft Policy and Procedure Manual was also presented to the wider stakeholders in the Judiciary who included all spending units and the semi-autonomous agencies within the Judiciary at a workshop held on 26th September, 2014 in Nakuru. A copy of this Draft Report has also been shared with the National Treasury for comments. The final draft report will thereafter be presented to the JSC for review and approval before it is published and launched.

The Judiciary, in its effort to strengthen the financial

management systems, has embarked on development of a Finance and Accounting Policy and Procedure Manual. This is geared towards ensuring prudent financial management and accountability in the institution.In order to develop a practical and best practice based Finance and Accounting Policy and Procedure Manual, a gap analysis of the existing financial management practices, policies and processes was undertaken at the Judiciary. The first part of this exercise entailed a detailed review of documentation,

interviews with key process owners at the Headquarters and eleven (11) sampled Court Stations as well as a walk through the processes. This was aimed at collecting information on the current situation of the Judiciary’s financial management procedures and comparing them to best practices so as to develop a Gap Analysis Report.The Gap Analysis Report was critiqued by the key users of the financial system who included officers from the Finance and Accounts Directorates, Risk and Internal Audit as well as the Regional Finance Assistant Directors (RFADs). The second part of the exercise was

The Project Technical Committee (PTC) was given more impetus and

strength at a workshop held in Naivasha. The Chief Registrar of Judiciary, Mrs. Anne Amadi in her opening remarks stressed upon the importance of the Committee since its role is to conduct the technical oversight activities of JPIP. The CRJ noted with lots of concern the low absorption rate of the project activities and stressed the need to meet the threshold of 75%.

She called upon the implementing units to strive to understand their respective roles, comprehend the stringent procedures and processes expected by the World Bank and overcome any challenges that may hinder productivity of the activities.The PTC workshop which was attended by 41 participants, representing 19 Implementing Units (IU’s) is expected to meet quarterly and will be responsible for the quality assurance of all technical aspects of the project. It will also oversee implementation of project

The development of design concepts for the

construction of four new courts are to commence in October 2014. Following the approval by the World Bank and awarding of contracts by Judiciary Tender Committee (JTC), the Judiciary will be handing over Nakuru and Siaya Law Court sites to M/S Otieno and Kungu Associates while Nanyuki and Garissa Law Court sites will be handed over to M/S Skair Associates. The two consultants will design and supervise the construction of the courts and are expected to complete the constructions within a three year period.

The World Bank is partnering with the Judiciary through

JPIP to construct 9 new High Courts and 1 children’s court, rehabilitate 30 courts and conduct minor refurbishment works of 28 courts which is in line with the Governments initiative of accelerating the overall construction and renovation programme of the Judiciary. All the above works will have ICT infrastructure. JPIP is expected under component three of the Project Appraisal Document to construct and rehabilitate the courts with the aim of reducing the average distance to courts; to improve access to courts and improve quality and access to judicial services.

Besides the four new courts, JPIP is in the process of

DESIGNS FOR NEW HIGH COURTS TO COMMENCE By Arch. John Okello

finalizing the evaluation of technical proposals for the construction of new courts in: Kakamega, Olkalau, Kabete, Kajiado, Mombasa and Wajir. Bid Documents for Engineer, Chuka, Kigumo, Molo, Vihiga, Nyando, Nyamira, Oyugis and Tamu/Muhoroni are being finalized with a view to tendering for the construction works before the end of the year. The process of appointing consultants for the rehabilitation of Kibera, Makindu, Makueni, Mukurwe’ini, Isiolo, Kaloleni, Kangundo, Kapenguria, Kapsabet, Kilgoris, Kilungu, Kithimani, Kwale, Maralal, Maseno, Sotik, Ukwala, Voi and Webuye courts is at an advanced stage.

Regarding the rehabilitation of the pilot projects, Kangema and Kitui Law Courts, there has been tremendous progress. Kangema Phase 1 is complete and is in defect liability period. The Kitui rehabilitation is at 80% complete and is expected to be completed in November 2014.

Ongoing rehabilation works and designs of the Kitui Law Courts. The rehabilitation works are expected to be complete by end of November 2014.

EDITORIAL

The improvement of quality services delivery and dispensation of justice is a process that requires concerted efforts from all stakeholders in the justice sector and the public at large. The Judicial Performance Improvement Project (JPIP) supported by the World Bank hopes that in the six year period there will be some significant change in service delivery at the Judiciary. Implementing units of JPIP have in the first quarter of the F/Y 2014/2015 been undertaken their respective activities as outlined in the work plans. The 3rd edition of the E-Newsletter highlights some of the activities being undertaken by the implementing units during the period of July - September 2014.
