"content": "Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I will comment on a few statements. The statement by Sen. Esther Okenyuri on the suspension of academic programmes to the students who are currently in Germany. Many Kenyans do not know that the Ministry of Education normally gives out scholarships. I want to ask the Committee on Education, chaired by Sen. Montet, to go further and tell us who the beneficiaries of the Ministry of Education's scholarship are. This is the same Ministry that was operating hot air secondary schools in Baringo, where billions of shillings were lost in non-existent secondary schools through capitation. No ordinary Kenyan has benefited from this scholarship other than the who-is-who. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to appeal to the Education Committee to table the list of beneficiaries of academic scholarships from the Ministry of Education for the last five years, so that we can know the truth. It is unfortunate that the beneficiaries of this scholarship are normally well-to-do Kenyans yet the hoi polloi are not benefiting. We are leaving many young Kenyans from vulnerable communities to the spirit of"

"content": "where they have succeeded and applied for this scholarship, but are unable to benefit since they do not have any connection. Finally, on the issue of the Judicial Service Commission (JSC), the reason there is a backlog in most of the court cases in this country where almost half a million court cases are being filed yearly is because of lack of legal researchers. You will find that magistrates and judges are now writing shorthand notes. They go and do research before writing judgments. That is why if you appear before a court of law today, you cannot get a hearing date until 2026 to mid 2027. There is lack of enabling systems within our court system. The hiring of legal researchers by the JSC should be expedited, so that we can get more legal researchers. Even here, Senators should note that the reason your office is well-resourced is because of the legal researchers that we have. We are aware that the JSC, chaired by Chief Justice Martha Koome, has failed in the fight against corruption in courts of law. You can remember in the court case of Kawira Mwangaza. For some of us - and I will be tabling a damning report - money has been oiling hands. You can remember that the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) arrested a number of judges with millions of shillings and the case of Said Chitembwe was thrown out. Therefore, the JSC---"

We meet many Kenyans complaining that they have been in court from the 1950s, 1970s and 1980s on succession matters. You heard an allegation where a chief magistrate in Kiambu was demanding two per cent of the estate in most of the succession matters in court. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard and AudioServices, Senate."
