The Judiciary

The Judiciary established a temporary committee - the Judiciary Working Committee on Election Preparations (JWCEP) in May 2012 - to, among other things: advise the Judiciary on administrative arrangements and measures for the efficient disposal of election related disputes; design and execute a Judiciary programme to build the capacity of Judges, Magistrates and other Judicial Officers on electoral matters; design a system for monitoring and evaluating the management of election related disputes in court; liaise with and coordinate stakeholders to ensure effective and timely resolution of election related disputes and offences as well as advise the Judiciary on public outreach strategies on the election process. Following the conclusion of the 2013 EDR process and ahead of the 2017 General Elections, JWCEP was made a permanent Committee of the Judiciary and renamed the Judiciary Committee on Elections (JCE) in August 2015 by the then Chief Justice Dr. Willy Mutunga.
