The Judiciary is experiencing an intermittent system outage on the E-filing portal, affecting the electronic filing of cases.

In an announcement on Thursday, the Judiciary advised that applications under certificates of urgency and time-bound pleadings should be forwarded to the respective court stations’ email addresses for processing.

The Judiciary assured its technical team was working towards a full system restoration.

“We apologize for [the] inconvenience caused and thank you for your patience and understanding.”

The Judiciary scaled up the e-filing system on March 11, launching its nationwide use after piloting it in select courts.

The e-filling system provides citizens and non-citizens with a platform to initiate and complete the process of filing cases digitally.

It also provides an e-payment and e-receipting platform.

Speaking while launching the nationwide rollout, Chief Justice Martha Koome said E-filing will allow for remote case filing.

Further, she said that the system will offer a convenient platform to engage the justice system online. The move, she noted, would improve accessibility, efficiency, and inclusivity.
