In his inauguration speech on September 13, 2022, President William Ruto said his administration would increase allocations to the Judiciary by Sh3 billion every year in his first term in office.

President Uhuru Kenyatta’s administration was accused of under-funding the Judiciary, hence President Ruto’s promise to give them additional financing when he took over power.

“My administration will scale up the budgetary allocation to the Judiciary by an additional Sh3 billion annually for the next five years. These resources will support the bottom-up scaling of justice by increasing the number of small claims courts from the current 25 to 100,” said Ruto.
