Koome noted that the Judiciary will need more resources in the Financial Year 2024-2025 to address some of its immediate concerns, a reason for its planned engagement with Parliament and the Executive.
Ruto announced increased budgetary allocations from the Financial Year 2022-2023 to the current one, from Sh87 billion to Sh108 billion, to sectors combating corruption and promoting justice.
According to the report tabled before the committee by the auditor-general, the fund which was established in 2012 to benefit judges, judicial officers, and staff, ought to have had a value of about Sh6.8 billion.
Mogotio MP Reuben Kiborek made the proposal on Sunday, warning that Parliament would use its powers to punish the Judiciary for the rulings he said were against public interest.
Chief Justice Koome's meeting with PS Kiptoo marks progress in plans to streamline national government services and tame corruption, following criticism from parties including President William Ruto.
