 ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

This attachment would not have been successful without the cooperation and support of a
number of people who enabled me to gain much more than what the industrial aspects of the
attachment could have offered. First, I would like to appreciate the Almighty God for the
charitable time, good health, strength and aptitude that enabled me to complete my attachment
period. Secondly, my gratitude goes to the Kisii University academic staff that has imparted their
vast knowledge that has assisted me during my industrial attachment. Special thanks go to Dr.
Kyambo Benjamin, The Attachment coordinator who gave me the opportunity for attachment
and Dr. Mzee Awour the Dean of the school of Information Science and Technology for his
unwavering guidance in the field of computing.

Thirdly, many thanks also go to the management and the IT staff of Mombasa law courts for
their unwavering support by giving me a chance to be part of them for a period of twelve weeks.
Worth mentioning is the invaluable support and guidance that I constantly got throughout my
industrial attachment from the administration and more so from the IT department fraternity of
that I had more opportunity interacting with and for guiding and supporting me to gain
experience in several fields in both Software, designing, networking and Hardware and making
the working environment conducive and friendly. Such experience cannot be attained in an
ordinary class environment and are largely interplay between the class based inputs from my
lecturers. Finally, I would like to thank my loving parents and brother Evans for their support
throughout the entire period of my attachment.

 ABSTRACT
The abstract gives a summary about the brief report concerning my exposure, experience,
knowledge and challenges faced during my Industrial attachment at Mombasa Law Court ICT
Department. Mombasa Law Court consist of seven directories offering support services to the
judiciary, they include; Department of Human Resource and Administration, Finance
Department, Public Affairs and Communications, Performance Management department,
Information Communications Technology (ICT), Supply Chain Management, Chief Accounts
Controller. I was attached at the ICT department which is responsible for acquiring and
implementing quality and integrated ICT solutions that enable the Judiciary to efficiently and
effectively fulfill its mandate. My experience at Mombasa Law Court is overwhelming as I got
exposed to both Software and Hardware disciplines. I gained a lot, interacting with the Judiciary
Systems, The Server room, Networking modules, it was a great fun being at Mombasa Law
Court. By the end of the attachment period, I can humbly say that I am capable of working
independently, plan, supervise and coordinate activities, collect, tabulate, analyze, interpret and
disseminate data for research training. More so, I can apply ICT skills in handling and processing
data and information. Despite financial challenges, I am grateful to the Mombasa Law Court ICT
department staff for their guidance and motivations which kept me moving during the field
attachment.

 DEFINITION OF TERMS
Intro is the first paragraph of a story.

An Industrial Attachment is a structured, credit bearing work experience in a professional

work setting during which the student applies and acquires knowledge and skills.

568 A Standard is wiring standard that define the pin out (connection order) for terminating
twisted pair network cable in eight pin modular connector plugs and jacks.

568 B Standard is a wiring standard that define the pin out (connection order) for terminating
twisted pair network cable in eight pin modular connector plugs and jacks.

Switch is a networking hardware that connects devices on a computer network by using packet
switching to receive and forward data to the destination device.

Router is a networking device that forwards data packets between computer networks. Routers
perform the traffic directing functions on the Internet.

Virtual Private Network or VPN, is an encrypted connection over the Internet from a device to
a network. The encrypted connection helps ensure that sensitive data is safely transmitted. It
prevents unauthorized people from eavesdropping on the traffic and allows the user to conduct
work remotely. VPN technology is widely used in corporate environments.

Network Troubleshooting, the term troubleshooting refers to the process of identifying

problems with a network through a rigorous and repeatable process and then solving those
problems using testable methods. Troubleshooting is more effective than trying things at random
until the network functions because it allows you to target individual network components,
testing each for function, and encourages you to document your process.

Software Installation refers to the large-scale distribution of software and application on an

organizational level. Administrators are frequently bombarded with numerous software
installation requests, and have to validate those requests individually and authorize the software
installation.

Ping is a computer network administration software utility used to test the reachability of a host
on an Internet Protocol (IP) network. It is available for virtually all operating systems that have
networking capability, including most embedded network administration software.

vi
Net stat is a command that generates displays that show network status and protocol statistics.

Nslook up is a command that lets an internet server administrator enter a host name and find out
the corresponding IP addressing or Domain Name System record.

 CHAPTER ONE.

1.0 INTRODUCTION.

Industrial Attachment was Introduced to inspire the students with practical and technical skills,
as a partial fulfillment for the award of a certificate, Diploma or a Degree and to introduce the
students into working life.

The training time allows the student to link the theoretical principles learnt in the higher learning
institutions and the real-life professionals and technical applications.

It gives the student the practical skills and the work environment philosophy, to use their skills
and principle learned in class to serve the institutions and the society in general.

Due to the above reasons, Kisii University has organized 12 weeks of training in any institution
of students’ choice to give every student an opportunity to apply the skills and knowledge
achieved during the course of study and to acquire new skills in managing relationship and
carrying out the jobs assigned.

This is the reason why I joined Mombasa Law Court ICT Department to be trained in order to
get practical skills and cut a niche for myself in the I.T industry.

1.1 PURPOSE

The industrial attachment program fulfills part of the requirement for the award of a
Bachelor’s Degree in Biometry and Informatics in Kisii University.

This report therefore provides a summary of activities and duties carried out, as well as
experience gained during my attachment period.

1
 1.3 SCOPE AND LIMITATION

The training is all round and not limited to software disciplines. The field activities
though cover a wide geographical scope with a major focus in Mombasa.

The County is constituted of five Sub Stations; Kwale Law Court, Mariakani Law Court,
Kaloleni, Shanzu, Court of Appeal, and Mombasa Law Court.

However, I was at time involved in various activities within Kwale County, Kilifi
County, and Mombasa County.

1.4 Mombasa Law Court.

Abbreviated as MLC

1.4.1 History of Mombasa Law Court.

Mombasa Law Courts rich history dates back to 1897 when Kenya was declared British East
Africa Protectorate vide the East African Order in Council of 1897 & the Crown regulations. The
Crown appointed Sir Robert Williams Hamilton as Principal Judge to head the Kenyan Courts
with headquarters at the Old Law Courts building in Mombasa.

In 1906, Sir Hamilton was elevated to become the first Chief Justice. He was very instrumental

In 1906, Sir Hamilton was elevated to become the first Chief Justice. He was very instrumental
in the establishment of Law Reporting; the first set of Kenya Law Reports 1897-1905 were
published under his tenure.

His term lapsed in 1920 when the territory became the Kenya Colony and Protectorate and
remained so until independence in 1963. At that time, the headquarters of the Kenyan Courts had
relocated to Nairobi being the administrative center during the colonial era. Mombasa Law

Courts rich history dates back to 1897 when Kenya was declared British East Africa Protectorate
vide the East African Order in Council of 1897 & the Crown regulations. The Crown appointed
Sir Robert Williams Hamilton as Principal Judge to head the Kenyan Courts with headquarters at
the Old Law Courts building in Mombasa.

In 1906, Sir Hamilton was elevated to become the first Chief Justice. He was very instrumental
in the establishment of Law Reporting; the first set of Kenya Law Reports 1897-1905 were
published under his tenure.

His term lapsed in 1920 when the territory became the Kenya Colony and Protectorate and
remained so until independence in 1963. At that time, the headquarters of the Kenyan Courts had
relocated to Nairobi being the administrative center during the colonial era.

Fast forward to the post-independence, in the endeavor to aid the dispensation of justice, there
was a need to expand the Old Law Courts at Mombasa. The then Moi administration
commissioned the construction of a modern Court premises. It would later be completed and
inaugurated on 30th August, 1984.

The court hosts the Court of Appeal, High Court, ELRC, ELC, Magistrates’ Children’s and
Kadhis courts.

Justice Eric Ogolla is the outgoing Presiding Judge. Other judges of the court are: Margaret
Njoki, Anne Ong'ijo, John Onyiego and Justices and Sila Munyao-ELC, Justice Byram Ongwae-
ELRC. Justice Dorah Chepkwony of the High Court has been transferred from the station.

Justice John Mativo is the incoming Presiding Judge, others joining the court are Justices Olga
Sewe-High Court, Lucas Naikuni and Nelly Matheka-ELC and Justice Agnes Nzei- ELRC.

Hon Evans Makori is the outgoing Head of Station. Those still serving are; Hon Joseph Kalo,
Charles Ndegwa, David Beja, Maureen Nabibya, Martin Rabera, Vincent Adet, Ritah Amwayi,
Gedion Kiage, Erastua Muchoki, Christine Ogweno & Joshua Nyariki.

Other magistrates who are on transfer are Hon Edna Nyaloti, Francis Kyambia & Albert Lesotia.

Hon Martha Mutuku is the incoming Head of Station.

3
The court has a mediation registry headed by Hon Christine Ogweno, Tononoka Children’s
Court is headed by Hon Viola Yator and the Municipal Court headed by Hon Martin Rabera.

The Court has 3 Kadhis: Al Muhdhar A .S. Hussein-Chief Kadhi, Abdalla Ali Juma-Senior
Principal Kadhi and Habib Salim Vumbi-Principal Kadhi.

1.4.2 HOW COURT SYSTEM WORKED

The chief native commissioner could set up, control and administer the tribunals. Similar African
tribunals at the divisional level of each district were established. The governor was authorized to
appoint a Liwali at the coast to adjudicate matters in the Muslim community.

Appeals against the decisions of tribunals were filed to the D.O, D.C, or the P.C, while the final
appeal lay with supreme court. In cases where non-Africans were involved, the administration of
justice was entrusted to expatriate judges and magistrates.

Appeals lay from subordinate courts to the supreme court. The head of the system was the chief
justice while the administrative duties were carried out by the registrar of the supreme court.

Main courts were established in large urban centers Nairobi, Mombasa and Kisumu. Judges and
magistrates on circuit served other centers. The segregated system of administration of justice
prevailed until 1962 when the African courts were transferred from the Provincial
administration to the judiciary. The independence constitution established a supreme court with
unlimited original criminal and civil jurisdiction over all persons, regardless of racial or ethnic
considerations. When Kenya became a republic in 1964, the supreme court was renamed the
High court.

In 1967, the judicature act, the magistrates’ courts act and the Kadhis courts act were enacted to
streamline the administration of justice.

1.4.3 Mission, Vision and Mandate

The court martial hears cases involving people serving in the military. They are established
under the armed forces act.

The high court has jurisdiction to hear all criminal and civil cases as well as appeals from the
lower courts. The constitution has also established the industrial court and the land and
environment court at the same level as the high court.

Tribunals are bodies established by acts of parliament to exercise judicial or quasi-judicial

functions. They supplement ordinary courts in the administration of justice. Tribunals, however,
do not have penal jurisdiction.

6
Tribunals, like the courts, have to respect the bill of rights, in their decisions and not be
repugnant to justice and morality or be inconsistent with the constitution or other laws of the
land. Most tribunals are subject to the supervision of the high court.

All tribunals fall under the judiciary.

The court of appeal hears cases arising from appeals over the decision of the high court or
Tribunal.

The supreme court hears and determines cases relating to presidential elections. It hears appeals
on cases that have been concluded by the court of appeal, issues advisory opinions on matters
concerning county governments, in any cases involving the interpretation or application of the

farmers’ system through administration and access password for login limited the

practice of the concept covered during the industrial attachment.

• Limited period for training on the activities done by the Court and on the ERP

• Hot and harsh weather in the attachment region.

•Limited orientation for the student on the attachment which makes it difficult for the student to
get well acquitted with the working environment in departments.

16
 CHAPTER FOUR.

4.1 CONCLUSION.

The department of Information, Communications and Technology through the Mombasa law
court provides a good background for future dissemination of information and news to the
people. It also provides a chance for training young, energetic I to practice their skills by giving
them full opportunity and a better background to work as media practitioners.

4.2 RECOMMENDATIONS

While it should be noted that the program, BA in information technology, was well executed in
terms of units being covered, it is also in order for the school to review the syllabus with the
view of incorporating more practical information. It is understandable that the degree program
was initially offered for those who yearned to work in programming, software and hardware.
This however has changed and the degree holders are expected to do technical jobs like
production, marketing, designing and camera works among others. It therefore calls for the
department to engage its students on practical by introducing more units.

The department should allocate more office space in all departments to reduce congestion of
workers in the office

Acquisition of more office equipment mostly computers to help workers finish duties delegated
to them on time

There should be more fieldwork opportunities for attaches in various departments to expose them
to real practical work involving departments in which they are attached. As it helps them learn
more than office work.

Offer financial support to students during the attachment period.

Attaches should be rotated regularly in different departments of their specialization for

maximum exposure.
