Magistrate Monica Kivuti To Be Buried in Yatta, Machakos

The burial of slain Makadara Law Court Principal Magistrate Monica Kivuti is underway in Yatta, Machakos.

Kivuti died last week Thursday, June 13, 2024, while undergoing treatment at Nairobi Hospital after she was shot while making a ruling involving a policeman’s wife at Makadara Law Courts in Nairobi.

Chief Justice Martha Koome on Tuesday led all Judicial officers in a countrywide day of mourning the fallen magistrate aged 46 years.

Following the shocking incident Koome immediately banned makeshift courts over security concerns pledging that the Judiciary is implementing immediate measures and engaging robustly with other relevant state agencies and stakeholders on long-term measures to ensure the safety and security of the court premises.
