    "content": " Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I do not think it was a deliberate intention to interrupt me. I believe Hon. Kizito cannot go to that extent. I was talking about the Small Claims Courts Act which is being amended to bring down the period for adjudication of these cases to 60 days. This will really help in clearing backlogs in courts. Most of the cases that we find in these courts are usually matters that cost below Kshs 1 million. Going forward, after amending and fixing this period, it will be important to have a separate Magistrates Courts to deal with these matters so that we do not mix the two and get all the other matters adjourned to give preference and precedence to the matters of the Small Claims Courts. As I wind up to give way to my colleagues to also contribute, these are claims that only touch on Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs), and their business will thrive if their cases are dispensed off in good time. I rest my submission and I support. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker."
