Explained: How to file cases on the Judiciary e-filing system

Reiterating his setiments, Josphat Karanja, Deputy ICT Director in the Judiciary noted that the system allows one to build the case online and once it is complete they can submit it.

Further, there is a public information kiosk in the system where one can access the details of any case.

The system will also allow cases to be processed on an individual basis and once processed, you will then get an invoice on your phone or email and payment can be made by anyone despite their location.

In case of a power outage, Karanja says there is an offline mode in which processing can still be done.

"We have an offline mode in which we can process the documents when there is an outage, especially time bond matters. There is a way we manage them through a manual system in that short time and we will integrate them when the systems are back."

Further, the Judiciary is working to install solar panels in all courts across the country which will ensure zero interruptions during court sessions.

In stations like Kakuma where the network could be a challenge, Kyalo noted that arrangements are being made to ensure those in charge are equipped with modems and laptops for efficiency.

Cases that were also recorded and processed manually will be updated in the system in a compressed for easier access.

The e-filling system was launched early this month and marks a significant milestone in the Judiciary's efforts to enhance efficiency, transparency, and access to justice for all Kenyans.
