Judiciary rolls out staff census in push for data-driven reforms

The initiative comes as part of a long-standing commitment by the Judiciary to continuously improve its operations while safeguarding the integrity of its institutional data.

The Judiciary will today carry out a nationwide employee census as part of its ongoing efforts to strengthen human resource management and institutional planning.

The exercise aims to ensure that staffing data is accurate, reliable, and aligned with the strategic priorities of the Social Transformation through Access to Justice (STAJ) blueprint.

The initiative comes as part of a long-standing commitment by the Judiciary to continuously improve its operations while safeguarding the integrity of its institutional data.

In November 2021, the Judiciary invited the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) to review its systems, policies, and procedures to reinforce accountability and integrity within the institution.

Accurate data, the Judiciary says, is critical for informed decision-making.

The upcoming census will support staff rationalisation, optimise resource allocation, and improve overall human capital management.

According to Chief Justice Martha Koome, the results will help ensure that staff welfare is prioritised and that resources are distributed fairly across all court stations and administrative units.

The Judiciary last conducted a similar exercise in 2018, and such initiatives have also been successfully carried out by the Public Service Commission (PSC), Teachers Service Commission (TSC), National Police Service Commission (NPSC), and various county governments.

These exercises have been credited with enhancing efficiency, promoting transparency, and strengthening governance in human resource management.

“The census has been organised to ensure minimal disruption to judicial proceedings. Court operations will continue as scheduled,” Koome stated.

This assurance underscores the Judiciary’s determination to maintain service delivery while implementing reforms that improve institutional performance.

The Judiciary emphasises that the census is a proactive step in pursuing a transformative approach to human capital management.

It aligns with broader goals of efficiency, accountability, and equitable service delivery, benefiting staff and court users.
