The Judiciary in Kenya has expanded its services to the public by integrating nine essential judicial services at various Huduma Centres across the country.
This development, announced in a notice on January 24, 2024, is set to enhance the accessibility of justice services starting January 29, 2024.
“Starting January 29, 2024, Kenyans can now access nine essential judicial services conveniently from various Huduma Centres across the country. Your access to justice just got more accessible,” a notice from Huduma Centre read.
The services will only be available at select Huduma Centres in and around Nairobi, before hopefully being rolled out nationwide.

A range of critical services will be accessible at these Huduma Centres. These include:
