According to a notice issued by Milimani Law Courts, all the Chief Magistrate Criminal Court and Traffic Court cases will not be physically accessible due to the hearing of the presidential election petition as from August 26 to September 5,2022.
Consequently, all fresh cases and certificates of urgency for cases requiring quick Judicial intervention has been redirected to the City Hall located at Nairobi City.
Further, the notice indicates that all matters scheduled for August 26 to September 5 will be mentioned virtually for directions by the respective Courts.
This comes after the Supreme Court of Kenya shifted its sitting from the Apex Court building to the High Court of Kenya in Nairobi building.
Among the reasons quoted for the said shifting is the availability of spacious rooms at Milimani High Court, capable of accommodating a large number of litigants.
Constitutionally the seven Supreme Court Judges are expected to render their decision by September 5, 2022.
