- The Technological Determinants of Digital Inclusivity in E-Justice Systems: A Mixed-Methods Analysis of Design, Access, and Format Availability for Persons with Disabilities in Kenya (2026) · East African Journal of Information Technology · doi
Conclusion technology This study investigated how inclusive design, multichannel accessibility, and alternative format availability, together the Technology Factors construct, affect digital inclusion in Kenyan e‑justice for persons with disabilities. Findings show factors have a positive, statistically significant impact on digital inclusion (β = 0.556, R² = 0.310, p < 0.001). Multichannel accessibility was the most influential (β = 0.776), followed by inclusive design (β = 0.720) and alternative formats (β = 0.717). However, consistent qualitative implementation gap: architectural features do not always translate into functional accessibility. The principal conclusion is that technology alone is necessary but insufficient for inclusive e‑justice.

The study identifies a gap in the existing literature on disability and technology, highlighting the need for more research on access-making and situated expertise. - The research gap is also related to the lack of consideration for non-normative temporalities and interdependencies in technology design.

Further research is needed to explore other factors that may influence the accessibility of digital systems, such as the design of user interfaces as well as an evaluation of accessibility of digital systems for other categories of disabilities such as hearing impairment, physical impairment, autism and intellectual disability, among others.
