Justice Angote on Advancing Digital Inclusion in the Kenyan Judiciary

Описание: Justice Oscar Angote, Principal Judge of the Environment and Land Court in Kenya, notes that while the judiciary has embraced digitalization in filing and court proceedings, the assumption that everyone is comfortable with digital platforms has been challenged. Speaking after attending a high-profile Digital Inclusivity workshop in Nairobi (August 2025), he said the engagements helped the judiciary identify concrete needs and that programs will be implemented to make digital court services accessible to visually impaired persons. He also outlined plans to cascade these initiatives to all judges to ensure fully inclusive digital services.
The workshop, funded by the UK Digital Access Programme (DAP) and implemented by the Kenya Society for the Blind (KSB) and Wetzever Solutions, laid out actionable steps to address gaps and to launch a sector-wide digital accessibility initiative.
Key themes from his remarks include:
• Acknowledging gaps in digital accessibility for visually impaired users
• Cascading inclusive digital plans to all judges and courts
• Implementing programs to ensure accessible digital court services for all
• Continued collaboration with disability advocates and tech partners to drive change
