A criminal case involving an assaulted minor, stalled for over a year at the Mombasa Law Courts, has finally been scheduled for mention thanks to intervention by the Commission on Administrative Justice, the Office of the Ombudsman.

• The case had been pending since June 2025 without significant progress.
• The intervention followed a complaint from the minor's grandfather, highlighting the negative impact on the child's education and well-being.
• The delay was attributed to the trial magistrate's appointment as a judge, with the case now fixed for mention on July 23, 2026.
