The Judiciary has admitted rampant corruption within its ranks that hinder its efforts to provide efficient services to Kenyans.
The development comes after years of downplaying the rot within the Judiciary by its senior officials, who instead heaped blame on the other two arms of government over frequent attacks and abuse of its orders.
Yesterday, acting Chief Justice Philomena Mwilu and Chief Registrar Anne Amadi admitted that corruption and unethical behaviour among judicial staff was a cause for concern.
Mwilu singled out two court stations after admitting that her office has received a number of complaints about them.
