Gov't Announces New Digital Platform for Kenya Law Reports

The National Council for Law Reporting has announced a new digital platform through which Kenyans can access official Kenya Law Reports.

 In a notice on Thursday, October 22, the council announced that it had partnered with the Kenya National Library Service (KNLS) to make the reports available digitally through the Vtabu platform.

"We have partnered with Kenya National Library Services (KNLS) under their Vtabu digital platform to have the official Kenya Law Reports available in digital format," the notice read.

The National Council for Law Reporting noted that users would be able to access the authoritative reports, with digital access available at a starting price of Ksh500.

"You can now access the authoritative Kenya Law Reports anytime anywhere on Vtabu platform. From as low as Ksh500," the notice added.

The digital platform is intended to serve professionals and other users who rely on legal materials for research, education and legal practice.

"The platform is designed for legal practitioners, students, and researchers who need reliable, up-to-date legal information at their fingertips," the notice further read.

Interested users can purchase the digital Kenya Law Reports through the Vtabu platform at https://vtabu.knls.ac.ke/.

The National Council for Law Reporting also clarified that its Case Law Database would remain freely accessible through its website.

This comes a day after the Kenya National Examinations Council (KNEC) announced a new official telephone contact number for members of the public seeking to communicate with the examinations body.

In a notice on Wednesday, October 21, the Council said the new telephone number would take effect immediately, urging the public to update their records and use the new contact for future communication.

"KNEC wishes to inform members of the public and all stakeholders that it has a new official telephone contact number effective immediately," the notice read.

According to KNEC, the new official telephone contact number is 0719 093 000. 

The Council advised members of the public and stakeholders to use the number for all future inquiries and communication.

"Members of the public are advised to update their records and use the new number for all future communication with KNEC," the notice added.

However, KNEC clarified that its previous telephone numbers would remain operational until the end of January 2027, giving the public time to transition to the new contact.

"Please note that the previous numbers will remain operational until end of January 2027. We regret any inconvenience caused and appreciate your continued engagement with KNEC," the notice further read.
