In a statement, the Judiciary said it set up two temporary courts at the Kasarani Stadium to handle cases related to violation of Covid-19 rules.

The said courts were set up on May 7 following deliberation between the Chief Justice, the Director of Public Prosecution and the Ministry of sports in a move aimed at curbing the spread of the virus within the corridors of justice.

"As the Covid-19 cases are being prosecuted, the judiciary is maintaining the Health ministry regulations by maintaining social distancing and at the same time ensuring that court users and accused persons have water, soap sanitisers and masks for prevention measures," said Milimani Chief Magistrate Francis Andayi.

Since Kenya confirmed its first case of coronavirus, the Judiciary shut down court rooms and only gave room for few very cases for plea taking to be taken in open spaces.

On May 6, Chief Justice David Maraga announced that a total of 7,000 judgments had been so far delivered ever since the judiciary shut down physical court rooms and embarked on delivering justice through use of technology.
