The number of resolved court cases fell 38 percent last year as Covid-19 disruptions affected the ability of judges to hear cases and give rulings on time leading to surge in case backlog.
Chief Justice Martha Koome said the number of cases concluded in all courts reduced from 469,359 cases in 2018/19 to 289,728 cases in 2019/20 after courts scaled back operations and shifted online to curb the spread of the coronavirus.
