If you visited Kibera law courts some time back, then you need to pay it a visit again.

The newly constructed court is now operating fully with all required rooms.

Initially, the court was very old with no space, it lacked lactation room, lawyers room and the parking was full of mud and rain water.

But now the new building has Lactation rooms for mothers, advocate lounger, media room among others.

The Kibera law courts is situated in the middle of the Kibera slums and surrounded by shanties and people in the high-crime area who have no love for the law.

It is in these walls that magistrates get about 20 new cases.

They see grievous harm involving knives, pangas and other crude weapons.

They see battered women, violence inflicted over debts, bludgeonings and murder over adultery and unrequited love.

The court has eight courtrooms, nine magistrates, several clerks, prosecutors and other officials.

There's a Khadi's court as well for resolution of limited issues involving Islamic law.
