Security
The Kakamega law court has reviewed security measures with a view to improve security for all court users.
In a notice to the Judiciary staff and court users, Kakamega Law Court Senior Principal Magistrate Joseph Nduriri said Gate 1 of the court will be used exclusively by Judges, Magistrates and prison vehicles ferrying remandees in and out of the court.

The court has however closed Gate C which will be out of bounds from court users. Further directives in the same notice provide that Gate 4 of the court shall be used as the entrance and exit for all judicial staff using motor vehicles and pedestrian court users including those using motorcycles and bicycles.
