CRJ holds discussions with the Kenya Judges Welfare Association

In her engagement with the last of the associations representing the Judiciary’s workforce, Chief Registrar of the Judiciary Winfridah Mokaya held discussions with the Kenya Judges Welfare Association led by their President Justice P. J. Otieno.

CRJ underscored the centrality of Judges to the Judiciary’s mandate and noted the need for consultation and involvement of Judges on policy matters through structured and regular engagement between the administration and Judges in decisions touching on their work. As a start, the Chief Registrar advocated for a new budgeting model that will see greater participation of Judges in designing budget priorities for Superior Courts.

The Chief Registrar also welcomed the Association’s work toward enhancement of judicial services through mentorship of new judges and peer review, and pledged support to the STAJ Wellness Programme for Judges and Judicial Officers.
