The Judiciary has implemented a new system to manage all financial transactions aimed at improving efficiency in processing and managing the payment of court fees, deposits, refunds and administrative functions.
In a press statement from the Chief Registrar of the Judiciary, the transition to this new platform, which is fully integrated with the e-filing and case management systems, is now complete and the refund process which had been suspended has resumed.
With the new platform in place, payment receipts will now be accessible via SMS acknowledgement in addition to the e-filing and CTS platforms.
Further, depositors will be required to update their bank details through a link sent to their mobile phone when a refund is being processed.
“We are working diligently to ensure that all outstanding refunds, forfeitures, and utilization are completed as swiftly as possible,” read the statement.
Meanwhile, the judiciary has apologized to all the stakeholders for the inconvenience caused and urged them to contact the department through the email address: ictdirectorate@court.go.ke or automationdeputyregistrar@court.go.ke for enquiries.
