NAIROBI, Kenya – The Judiciary has launched a new mobile application designed to simplify and speed up access to court services for Kenyans.
The e-Judiciary app, now available on both Android and iOS platforms, enables users to track court cases, file claims, verify documents, and attend virtual hearings—all from their phones.
Bringing together the existing Case Tracking System (CTS) and E-Filing platforms, the app features seven key tools: access to case information, cause lists and court links, probate status checks, payment verification, court document authentication, case filing, and case mapping.
“This app allows real-time case tracking without visiting the court registry,” the Judiciary said in a statement. “It eliminates long queues, unnecessary calls, and the need to travel for simple court services.”
The mobile platform is aimed at decongesting court premises and reducing delays caused by manual processes.
Users can now check the status of succession cases filed in any court station and access scheduled virtual hearings through direct links.
Advocates and law firms will also be able to file claims with the Small Claims Court via the app, a move expected to lower the cost of accessing justice.
“It minimizes financial barriers and makes it easier for anyone to initiate and complete the filing process,” the Judiciary said.
In addition, the app allows verification of court orders, rulings, and judgments—an effort aimed at curbing the spread of fake documents and boosting public trust in the judicial process.
This feature is particularly useful for police and prison officers needing to confirm the validity of release orders.
The payment status tool lets users confirm if court-related payments have been processed and download official receipts, reducing the risk of fraud through fake invoices.
A document-mapping feature also enables users to link newly filed materials to an existing case file for improved traceability.
The Judiciary credited the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and the Government of the Netherlands for supporting the app’s development.
“This is part of our mission for social transformation through access to justice using technology,” the statement added.
