The Judiciary has explained how its mobile application aims to make court services more accessible by allowing Kenyans to file cases and access a wide range of judicial services from their smartphones.

The Judiciary app, now available for download on both the Google Play Store and Apple’s App Store, is part of the Judiciary’s ongoing efforts to enhance service delivery through digital transformation.

In a short explainer on Wednesday, July 22, 2026, Judiciary detailed that through the application, users can file new court cases without physically visiting court stations, enabling faster and more convenient access to justice.

The app also allows users to access case information and verify the authenticity of court orders, judgements and rulings, as well as access Probate and Administration (P&A) matters.

Additionally, court users can view daily cause lists and access virtual court links for online proceedings directly through the application.

“Use the judiciary app, available on the App Store & Google Play, to access case information; verify court orders, judgements and rulings; access P & A matters; access the Cause List and Court Virtual links; check payment status; request for mapping; and file a case.”

The platform further enables users to check the status of court payments, request case mapping, and track the progress of matters before the courts.

The judiciary said the application is designed to improve efficiency, transparency and convenience by bringing key court services closer to members of the public through a single digital platform.

The launch of the mobile application marks another milestone in the judiciary’s digitisation agenda, which seeks to reduce paperwork, ease access to court services and enhance the administration of justice across the country.

This comes days after Chief Justice Martha Koome celebrated the milestones the Judiciary has achieved in its digital transformation agenda, highlighting the successful adoption of virtual court sessions as one of the institution’s key achievements in enhancing access to justice and expediting the hearing and determination of cases.

Backlog of cases

She also outlined how Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) mechanisms and out-of-court settlements have helped reduce the backlog of cases within Kenya’s judiciary.

Speaking during an interview aired on a local media station on Sunday, July 19, 2026, the Chief Justice said initiatives such as the Small Claims Court, court-annexed mediation, and the Alternative Justice Systems (AJS) have significantly improved access to justice while reducing the time taken to resolve disputes.

LSK boycott

The explainer comes as lawyers stage their nationwide protests starting on Wednesday, July 22, 2026. Speaking to a local media station, the Law Society of Kenya (LSK) President Charles Kanjama confirmed that the boycott would go on as planned.

“Lawyers are essential service providers, but that does not mean they cannot take industrial action. That is why our boycott is for one day, because we also have to consider the interests of the Kenyans we serve,” Kanjama said.
