The head of state also urged the judiciary to restore people's trust by working hard toward the administration of justice.

Chief Justice Ibrahim Juma thanked the president for appointing and swearing in the new judges, saying in total, Hassan has appointed 19 Court of Appeal judges and 63 High Court judges during the two and half years of her administration.
