The Judiciary has announced that it will conduct an institution-wide Employee Census on Thursday, October 30, 2025, as part of its continued efforts to strengthen human capital management and enhance transparency within the institution.
According to a statement signed by Chief Justice Martha Koome, the exercise aligns with the Judiciary’s ongoing commitment to proactive reform and continuous improvement in its operations, while maintaining the integrity of its institutional data.
The Chief Justice explained that the census aims to support staff rationalisation, optimise resource allocation, and ensure that human resource systems are efficient, transparent, and aligned with the Social Transformation through Access to Justice (STAJ) blueprint. The blueprint prioritises effective planning, talent management, staff welfare, and equitable resource distribution across all court stations and administrative units.
Justice Koome noted that the last employee census was conducted in 2018 and that similar exercises have been carried out by other public institutions such as the Public Service Commission (PSC), the Teachers Service Commission (TSC), the National Police Service Commission (NPSC), and several county governments to promote accountability and efficiency in human resource management.
She assured court users, advocates, and the public that the exercise has been organised to ensure minimal disruption to judicial proceedings and that court operations will continue as scheduled.
The Chief Justice emphasised that accurate and reliable institutional data is vital for effective decision-making and that the census will enhance the Judiciary’s capacity to plan strategically for its workforce and service delivery
