KSG ratified a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Judicial Service Commission (JSC) – a significant step that aims to advance capacity development within the Judiciary.

Chief Justice Hon. Martha Koome, who witnessed the signing of the MoU, said the agreement formally cements a relationship that has grown over the years aligning with the JSC’s Constitutional mandate under Article 172, to promote and facilitate training and development of judicial officers and staff.

This collaboration brings greater clarity, intention and structure to the design and implement of training programs for judges and judicial officers. The training programs will be conducted through the Kenya Judiciary Academy (KJA) – the capacity development arm of the Judiciary of Kenya that contributes to the efficient administration of justice and the professional growth of officers within Kenya’s justice system.

Commissioner Hon. Charity Kisotu in-charge of the Academy observed that as KJA continues to grow, it leverages the expertise within established institutions such as KSG renowned for building capacity across the public service spectrum — from induction of new entrants to executive leadership programs.

KSG Director General, Prof. Nura Mohamed expressed readiness of the School to extend beyond the signing of the MoU to actualizing initiatives where the officials are set to gain from co-creating programs and events to unlocking the expertise within KSG’s specialized institutes and centres – possibilities are expansive for innovation and excellence.

The two institutions look forward to an MoU that would grow young leaders, reshape institutional culture and is transformative, implementing programs that are paired with meaningful incentives — linked to career progression, recognition, or performance frameworks.
