    "content": "So, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I urge this House, let us also put our money where our mouths are! Let us not talk about a system in the fight against graft or, indeed, improving judicial services without allocating the necessary resources. We, ourselves, have determined that we are going to expand at a cost of close to Kshs1 billion in Parliament. Clearly, for much less, we can give the Judiciary the ability to move along much faster, reduce inefficiencies, reduce long waiting times for lawyers which end up making the legal process so expensive that the bulk of Kenyans who live below poverty – and statistics say about 46 per cent – have no chance of accessing justice in this country. Part of the cost of justice is the inefficiency with which we allow the Judiciary to perform. But we scream at the top of our voices when we demand justice and demand that the Judiciary follows our lead in terms of reform. The reform must start here and we must start by providing the resources necessary for those reforms."
