Chief Justice Martha Koome has unveiled a radical new strategy utilizing mobile courts and stringent enforcement to rapidly prosecute traffic offenders and curb road fatalities.

Chief Justice Martha Koome announced on Monday the introduction of mobile traffic courts across Kenya, an initiative designed to deliver swift justice and drastically reduce the nation's soaring road accident rates.
The Judiciary's intervention shifts the battleground for road safety from police roadblocks directly to the courtroom. By eliminating procedural delays and ensuring immediate accountability, the initiative aims to dismantle the culture of impunity that has long plagued Kenyan highways.
Addressing the National Council on the Administration of Justice at State House, Chief Justice Koome emphasized the Judiciary's commitment to protecting lives. The mobile courts will be deployed to high-risk corridors, allowing magistrates to hear and determine traffic offenses on the spot.
The deployment of mobile courts aligns perfectly with the Executive's recent push for smart traffic cameras and instant fines. This multi-agency approach ensures that once an offender is caught—either physically or digitally—the legal consequences are immediate and unavoidable.
For years, Kenyans have watched traffic offenders exploit a backlogged judicial system. These mobile courts are designed to restore public faith in the rule of law. By ensuring efficient, accessible, and responsive justice, the Judiciary hopes to send a clear message: the era of deadly negligence on Kenyan roads is over.
"Through these mobile courts and strengthened enforcement measures, we aim to reduce road accidents and save lives," affirmed Chief Justice Koome.
