The Judge President East African Court of Justice, Hon. Justice Dr. Emmanuel Ugirashebuja welcomed Members of the committee on regional integration from the National Assembly of the Republic of Kenya.
His Lordship informed the Committee on the composition of the Court, achievements and challenges of the Court - that the EACJ is composed of ten (10) Judges, two (2) from each Partner State and that each of the two divisions of the Court has a bench of five (5) Judges.
The Judge President also informed the Committee the two Judges representing the Republic of Kenya, Hon. Mr. Justice Aaron Ringera of the Appellate Division and Hon. Mr. Justice Isaac Lenaola Deputy Principal Judge of the First Instance Division.
The Judge President further informed the group that the EACJ has established Sub-registries in all Partner States’ capitals and that in Kenya it is located at the Milimani Law Courts. The Sub-registries were established to bring justice closer to the East Africans by giving the citizens access to the Court for any dispute that might arise.

His Lordship again informed the team that the sub-registries have led to an increase in the cases before the Court as litigants no longer have to travel to Arusha to file their cases which is costly and time consuming.
The Committee was informed that in an effort to enhance its publicity and to reach the Citizens in East Africa, the Court has been going to the Partner States to sensitize Civil Society Organisations and Judges of the National Courts on the role and operations of the Court.
