Acting Chief Justice Philomena Mwilu (pictured) has ordered the temporary closure of Kericho Law Courts, citing structural defects.
The court will remain shut for two weeks to allow time to re-construct the building and ensure the safety of Judiciary staff.
“An investigation report highlighted structural flaws arising from modifications undertaken on the building in 2014. The investigation report was forwarded to the Judiciary on March 3, 2021 with directions that the building be vacated as a matter of urgency to avert a potential disaster,” the acting CJ said in a statement.
Earlier on Friday, Kericho law courts were closed after the National Building Institute (NBI) condemned the buildings.
