Chief Justice Martha Koome has appointed 127 magistrates who will hear and determine corruption and economic crime cases across various law courts in Kenya.

In a Gazette Notice published on Friday, October 14, Koome said the appointment will help expedite the hearing and determination of corruption cases that have dragged in court for ages.

Previously, the Chief Justice said the backlog was as a result of insufficient number of magistrates and judges in the country.

"The appointed magistrates will preside over cases relating to corruption and economic crimes in the areas of jurisdiction of their current court stations and future stations deployed to from time to time," she said in the Gazette Notice.

The appointments took effect on October 3, 2022, said Koome.

The CJ went further and stated that the appointment is effective 3rd October, 2022.
