A Kenyan judge has expressed frustration over significant disruptions during virtual court sessions, with participants engaging in unrelated activities. This has led to a suggestion that the Judiciary consider reverting to in-person proceedings due to issues of decorum and discipline.

• The judge noted that “Someone logs in and does his own things, not minding that we are in court.”
• The frustrated judge suggested a return to physical court sessions.
• Virtual hearings were initially adopted during the COVID-19 pandemic to maintain access to justice.
