We all know that the legal system in our country within which justice is sought remains complex in the eyes of many not to mention the lengthy processes involved as parties strive to gain judgment. Access to justice in Kenya is further constrained by ignorance of the justice system, outdated and complex procedures and laws, corruption, and inefficiency consequently locking out thousands of Kenyans from effectively presenting their grievances in courts of law or administrative tribunals.

The adversarial nature of our legal system means that the extent to which parties’ access justice is, to a large extent, determined by their knowledge and capacity to effectively present their case. This inevitably gives undue advantage to those who can afford lawyers. The poor and un-educated are particularly disadvantaged by the intimidating atmosphere in the courts and the language used.

We at Family Media therefore acknowledge that access to justice is a fundamental human right and we endeavor to rid people of the ignorance and fear of the judicial process. Our SMS line is left open to allow our viewers ask or comment on the subject. (4316)
