For the second time in a row, the prize for Kenya’s most efficient judge has gone to one of the founding members of Active Case Management (ACM) Committee that was Dr Mutunga’s brainchild, and started in March 2016. Meru-based High Court Judge Lucy Mbugua was Machakos Chief Magistrate when Mutunga conceptualised the ACM to improve efficiency and resolve criminal cases speedily. A report released by the Judiciary indicates she was the top judge in the country going by the rate of resolving filed cases. The report also rated Mbugua as the best performing judge in the country with 694 cases handled followed by 600 recorded at Kakamega and 223 recorded at Kisii courts. She also paid a growing tribute to her workmates in Meru, including the presiding judge, peers, judicial officers and staff.
