The Judiciary is one of the three State organs established under Chapter 10, Article 159 of the Constitution of Kenya. Its primary role is to exercise judicial authority given to it, by the people of Kenya. The institution is mandated to deliver justice in line with the Constitution and other laws. It is expected to resolve disputes in a just manner with a view to protecting the rights and liberties of all. The Judiciary consists of the Chief Justice, Deputy Chief Justice and five other Justices of the Supreme Court which are committed to accountability, Integrity, Openness, professionalism, independence and humility. In Kenya, the courts under the Constitution operate at two levels, namely; Superior and Subordinate courts. The Court system has been decentralized with the Supreme Court and the Court of Appeal having their own Presidents and the High Court having a Principal Judge as heads of the respective institutions. The Judiciary also consists of the Environment and Land Court as well as the Employment and Labor Relations Court which are courts of equal status as the High Court. The subordinate courts consist of the Magistrates’ Courts, Kadhis Courts, Court Martial, and any other court or local Tribunal established by an Act of Parliament.
