The effective and efficient functioning of the justice sector requires cooperation among various stakeholders to ensure justice is delivered. The National Council on the Administration of Justice was established under Section 34 of the Judicial Service Act to serve as an umbrella body responsible for coordinating the administration of justice and leading efforts to reform the justice system. The NCAJ carries out its reform initiatives through officially designated multi-agency committees.
The NCCJR spearheaded the review of the Penal Code and Criminal Procedure Code, leading to the formulation of the Penal Code and Criminal Procedure Code Amendment Bills .
For example, under the current Penal Code, individuals found guilty of the offense of"Idle and Disorderly" under Section 182 may face imprisonment for one month or a fine not exceeding KSh100 for the first offense, and imprisonment for one year for subsequent offenses.
