We extend our sincere appreciation to our outgoing Chairperson, Mr. Justus Munyithya, and Board Member, Ms. Fatuma Dubow, whose terms have come to an end. We thank them for their dedicated service, leadership, and invaluable contribution to strengthening Kituo Cha Sheria over the years.

Kituo Cha Sheria conducted a community legal empowerment session with the Port Reitz village elders to strengthen grassroots access to justice in Mombasa.

The session equipped village elders with knowledge on the Small Claims Court, the importance of preserving evidence, and their role in promoting amicable dispute resolution before they escalate to court. Where disputes cannot be resolved at the community level, elders can guide residents on the appropriate legal pathways.

We also provided legal aid screening for community members, connecting those in need with legal assistance and reaffirming our commitment to people centered justice.

Justice is strengthened when communities have clear, coordinated, and responsive pathways to resolve disputes. Reviewing the Alternative Justice Systems (AJS) County Action Plan is therefore essential to assessing progress, identifying gaps, and refining strategies that ensure AJS continues to meet the justice needs of communities.

Today, Kituo Cha Sheria, in partnership with the National Steering Committee on the Implementation of Alternative Justice Systems (NaSCI-AJS) and with support from GIZ,German International Cooperation, is conducting the validation of the reviewed Nakuru County Alternative Justice Systems (AJS) County Action Plan (CAP), the first AJS County Action Plan in Kenya to undergo a review, and the re-activation of the Nakuru AJS Working Group.

Led by the NaSCI-AJS Secretariat, Hon. Justice (Prof.) Joel Ngugi, Chairperson, Prof. Steve Ouma Akoth, Vice Chairperson, Hon. Jemimah Aludah Dr. Wambua Kituku, Executive Director of Kituo Cha Sheria, Hon. Justice (Dr) Joseph Sergon, Presiding Judge, Nakuru Law Court, and Hon. Tito Gesora, Chief Magistrate, Nakuru Law Court, alongside justice sector actors and community stakeholders, examined the role of AJS within Kenya's multi-door justice framework, reviewed the implementation of the Nakuru County AJS County Action Plan, validated the revised Action Plan and AJS Model, and explored stronger partnerships between NaSCI-AJS and Nakuru County to expand access to justice for vulnerable and underserved communities.

Behind every scam may be a person trapped, controlled and forced to deceive.

On this World Day Against Trafficking in Persons, Kituo Cha Sheria calls on everyone to look beyond the fraud, recognise the victim and expose the crime. Human trafficking can hide behind fake job offers, online recruitment and promises of easy money.

See the victim. Expose the crime. End human trafficking.

The Refugee Access to Work and Inclusion – Eastern Africa (RAWI-EA) coalition held its monthly Reflection, Learning and Action (RLA) Workshop in Nairobi, providing an opportunity for members to review progress, exchange experiences, and identify priorities for advancing refugee rights advocacy across the region.

The workshop enabled coalition members to reflect on achievements, share lessons and innovations, examine emerging opportunities and challenges affecting forcibly displaced populations, and strengthen collaboration through coordinated action.

The workshop concluded with a shared set of advocacy priorities and collaborative actions that will guide the coalition's efforts to promote refugee inclusion, expand access to work, and strengthen protection for forcibly displaced populations across Eastern Africa.

Yesterday, Kituo Cha Sheria, with support from GIZ,German International Cooperation, convened a Focus Group Discussion (FGD) in Nakuru County to gather feedback from refugee and host community members on Alternative Justice Systems (AJS) hearings conducted in the area. The discussions provided valuable insights into community experiences, the outcomes of AJS processes, and opportunities to strengthen the delivery of people-centred justice.

Kituo has been working with refugees and host communities to integrate Alternative Justice Systems (AJS) and Mental Health and Psychosocial Support Services (MHPSS) as complementary approaches to promoting peaceful coexistence. Through community dialogues, capacity strengthening, and continuous engagement, the initiative has empowered communities to resolve disputes amicably, strengthen social cohesion, and build resilient, inclusive communities.
