After four months of disruption, judicial services have resumed in Kikuyu following the reopening of the Kikuyu Law Courts, which were burnt down during the June 2025 protests.
Court Administrator Duke Mainye said the Judiciary has begun reinstating all services and assured residents that surety documents, including title deeds and logbooks, will be returned as the process continues.
He noted that some title deeds were destroyed in the fire and that ongoing engagements are underway to determine how those cases will be handled.
Mainye added that the destruction had significantly delayed matters, particularly criminal cases, which were temporarily handled at the Limuru Law Courts.
Kikuyu MCA Kamau Boro said the new court blocks were constructed through support from the Kikuyu business community and religious groups, who stepped in to help restore operations.
He noted that many residents had been forced to travel to Limuru for urgent criminal matters during the shutdown.
The court premises were set ablaze during national anti-government protests in Kikuyu town, where demonstrators also lit tyres on the road amid clashes with police.
The protests formed part of nationwide demonstrations held in memory of those killed during the June 2024 anti–Finance Bill protests.
