NEW ON TV: Kenya "Justice For Sale" premieres on Aljazeera

Kenya’s judicial system is riddled with corruption, according to this week’s episode of the groundbreaking Al Jazeera English series, Africa Investigates, which shows that a disturbing number of key players in the legal system can be bribed or bought.

Premiering on 14 December 2011, Kenya: Justice For Sale shows that poor Kenyans are being priced out of the justice system in a country where bribery has become the norm. According to a recent report by Transparency International, nearly ten per cent of all bribes find their way to the judiciary.

In 2003 a radical shakeup of the judiciary saw 23 judges and 82 magistrates sacked over high-profile corruption allegations. More reforms are promised but, as this final episode in the current series of Africa Investigates will reveal, so far little has changed within the Kenyan judiciary’s culture of
corruption.

Kenya: Justice For Sale screens daily from Wednesday, 14 December 2011, at the following times GMT: Wednesday: 22:30; Thursday: 09:30; Friday: 03:30; Saturday: 16:30; Sunday: 22:30; Monday: 09:30; Tuesday: 03:30; Wednesday: 16:30.
