Justice just got closer for residents of Kiambu; The Kiambu-Thika Huduma Centre has become a one-stop shop for nine essential judicial services, marking a pivotal step towards making legal solutions more accessible and user-friendly. This exciting initiative, a collaboration between the Judiciary and Huduma Kenya, seeks to eliminate barriers and streamline the legal experience for all.
Gone are the days of lengthy journeys and crowded courtrooms for simple tasks like filing a civil case, submitting documents, or requesting summons. The Kiambu-Thika Huduma Center, along with other designated locations across the country, now offers these services closer to home, empowering residents and eliminating unnecessary hurdles. The list includes:
- Initiating Civil Cases and Filing Documents: Whether you’re starting a new legal proceeding or adding documents to an existing case, you can now do so conveniently at the Huduma Center.
- Requesting Summons and Notices: Need a summons to enter appearance or a notice to appear in a divorce case? The friendly staff at the Huduma Center can assist you with the process.
- Scheduling Mention Dates and E-Filing Support: Don’t let navigating the e-filing system or scheduling mention dates become a hassle. Trained personnel are available to guide you through the process.
- Paying Fines and Deposits: No more waiting in line at the courthouse! Settle outstanding fines or make deposits easily at the dedicated judicial desk within the Huduma Center.
- Virtual Court Support: Attending court hearings virtually? The Huduma Centre provides designated spaces and technical assistance to ensure a seamless experience.
This initiative holds immense potential for positive change. Residents, especially those in remote areas or facing transportation challenges, will now have significantly easier access to essential legal services. The convenience and efficiency offered by the Huduma Centre will save time and resources, while simultaneously reducing the burden on traditional courtrooms and accelerating case resolution.
Furthermore, this project represents a long-term vision for expanding judicial services to all 290 Huduma Centres across Kenya. This ambitious plan aims to empower citizens, simplify legal processes, and ultimately build a more accessible and efficient justice system for all Kenyans.
So, the next time you require legal assistance, remember that the Kiambu-Thika Huduma Centre is now your one-stop for various essential services.
