Abstract
Deafness may present unique challenges in the justice system because no accurate, timely account is heard or spoken. • Kenya Sign Language (KSL) is an official language in Kenya . (http://kenyalaw.org/kl/index.php?id=398). • However, communication barriers still exist in the justice system with ripple effects on freedom of expression and choice for litigants, victims and witnesses with hearing disability.
