The Digital Revolution in Kenyan Courts
The Kenyan Judiciary is embarking on a significant digital transformation through the deployment of the Case Tracking System (CTS).
This advanced system is set to streamline the judicial process, making it faster and more accessible to all citizens. It has been deployed in court stations across the country, marking a monumental shift towards the digital age.
