The Judiciary will carry out an institution-wide employee census on Thursday, October 30, 2025, Chief Justice Martha Koome has announced.
Koome said the exercise is aimed at strengthening human resource management and improving planning across the institution.
“The census aims to strengthen human capital, enhance institutional planning, support staff rationalization, and optimize resource allocation,” she said in a statement.
According to Koome, the staff census will help ensure that the Judiciary’s human resource systems are efficient, transparent, and aligned with the Social Transformation through Access to Justice (STAJ) blueprint. She added that this will support effective planning, talent management, staff welfare, and fair distribution of staff across courts and administrative offices.
The Judiciary previously conducted a similar exercise in 2018. Other public institutions such as the Public Service Commission, Teachers Service Commission, National Police Service Commission, and several county governments have carried out similar reviews to improve workforce management.
Koome assured Kenyans that court activities will continue uninterrupted during the census.
“The Judiciary assures court users, advocates, and the public that the exercise has been organized to ensure minimal disruption to judicial proceedings. Court operations will continue as scheduled,” she said.
In November 2021, the Judiciary invited the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) to review and audit its internal policies and procedures.
