Chief Justice Martha Koome will on Tuesday officially open the second National Conference on Alternative Justice Systems in Kenya at the Tangaza University College.
The conference will bring together justice actors, practitioners, judicial officers, academics, policymakers, civil society actors, development partners, and all stakeholders in the access to justice ecosystem.
The event will be convened by the National Steering Committee on the Implementation of the Alternative Justice Systems Policy (NaSCI-AJS).
"The conference will be fulfilling one of the major objectives of the committee to rally all sectors of Kenyan social, religious, judiciary, and cultural life to continuously and emphatically support the AJS mechanism and expand the pool of individuals and groups accessing justice in Kenya," the commission said.
The theme of the conference will be “AJS as Culture and Innovation in Accelerating Social Transformation through Access to Justice”
It will appreciate the embodiment of AJS in the moral economy of justice.
"As culture is a centre and signifier of the moral economy, it appreciates that culture is a multi-functional concept with the capacity to explain identity as well as practice," the commission said.
