    "content": "Judiciary. The Judiciary, love or hate it, need resources because they play a very critical role. Many of the cases that go to court are disputes between citizens. Some of them are commercial disputes as opposed to issues relating to administration or constitutional rights or even the public law sector like criminal law. In order to make an economy function properly, you need a dispute resolution system that works efficiently. Without the Judiciary getting sufficient funds, you can see what they are getting as a percentage of money that is available to the national Government. That is not good enough. We want a system of courts that is devolved not only to the sub counties but even to smaller units, so that dispute resolution processes and mechanisms are also adequately devolved. Madam Temporary Speaker, this then brings me to the point that, looking into the future, which will be with us in four months, we have a team that is committed in taking more funds to the counties. They are saying that they would avail more than 35 per cent of the revenue collected nationally to the counties. For this reason alone, I do not know why any Senator sitting here would not want to be associated with Azimio la Umoja. The big point about this Constitution, and why we are here as Senators, is to make sure that counties not only work but also get sufficient resources. I know the Senator for Marsabit is strongly supporting Azimio la Umoja---"
