The Kericho Law Court has officially relocated to the Kenyatta University premises, situated opposite the Kericho County Library Services along the Kericho–Kisumu Highway in Kericho Town.
The relocation aims to enhance service delivery and improve access to justice, following challenges experienced at the previous location at Kona C-junction, which had limited space and was inconvenient for court users.
Speaking to KNA, Chief Magistrate (CM) Tito Maoga Gesora said the new site will ease pressure on litigants and provide a more conducive working environment for judicial officers and the public.
“Kericho Law Court has relocated from Kona C-junction to Kenyatta University premises, making judicial services more accessible and efficient for residents,” said CM Gesora.
He was accompanied by Kericho High Court Deputy Registrar Felistus Nekesa during the site tour.
The Chief Magistrate further revealed that the newly established Chepkemel Magistrate’s Court in Sigowet–Soin Sub-County is now operational. The court, officially proclaimed in the Kenya Gazette dated November 13, 2025, operates under the supervisory jurisdiction of the Kericho High Court.
“The opening of the new Chepkemel Court will bring justice closer to residents of Sigowet–Soin and neighboring areas,” added CM Gesora.
He also noted that the Kipkelion Mobile Law Court remains functional, continuing to serve litigants in Kipkelion Sub-County and ensuring judicial services are accessible across Kericho County.
