About national council on administration of justice (ncaj)
The National Council on the Administration of Justice (NCAJ) was established in 2011 under Section 34 of the Judicial Service Act as a high-level policy-making implementation, and oversight coordination mechanism mandated to ensure a coordinated, efficient, effective and consultative approach in the administration of justice and reform of the justice system in Kenya. To achieve this mandate, NCAJ spearheads policy, legal and institutional reforms in the justice sector and further ensures implementation through Government Agencies and Court User Committees (CUCs).
