The new Kenyan Constitution, in Chapter 10 Section 173, establishes the Judiciary Fund which will be administered by the Chief Registrar of the Judiciary. It will be used for administrative expenses and other purposes for the discharge of the functions of the Judiciary.

Each financial year, the Chief Registrar will prepare estimates of expenditure for the following year, and submit them to the National Assembly for approval. Upon approval, the expenditure of the Judiciary will be a charge on the Consolidated Fund and the funds paid directly into the Fund.
