The filing system had been earlier implemented but faced so many hiccups. The system will solve some of the challenges people have had in accessing justice in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Law Society of Kenya president Nelson Havi has called on President Uhuru Kenyatta to ensure the Judiciary is properly funded. He further requested that a Bill be put in place to develop a proper framework for e-filing. Havi said the Bill will shield the digital courts from abuse.”Judges have been subject of abuse through social media and soon doctored judgments might appear in social media,” he said. Speaking during the launch of e-filing, Havi said all attempts in the past have failed, but Covid-19 has pushed stakeholders to embrace digitisation of courts.
