During her confirmation hearing on the floor of the senate, the CJN fielded questions on the reforms she hopes to implement in the judiciary.

“I will ensure that the courts are digitised. It will make it easier in tracking cases and judges could be called to ordain if they are not treating their cases expeditiously,” Kekere-Ekun had informed the senators.

“Especially in criminal matters where you have delays, we will use virtual hearing. It is something I will encourage so that criminal matters will be disposed expeditiously.

“We are exploring ways to ensure that prison decongestion is frequently carried out.



“Virtual hearings will aid fast track cases, the failure to construct defendants is usually the delay in criminal cases.”
