    "content": "Mr. M. Kilonzo): Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I just want to record serious reservations because, as the Minister for Justice, National Cohesion and Constitutional Affairs, I was not consulted. It must be observed that the policy now is to modernize the Judiciary. So, by withdrawing these amendments at this time, the country is going to continue suffering the backlog of cases that are there because we are removing mediation. It must be noted that there will also be conflict. You will realize that we have not removed the amendment to Appellate Jurisdiction Act which under paragraph (e), offers that court the use of suitable technology. The moment we remove that from the High Court, it means that the Court of Appeal will have the use of the technology. Part of the donor funds that are now engaging the country, are dealing with automation of the courts. I accept what the Attorney-General is saying, that as long as this law is going to be brought within the year, the country is watching. We need to modernize the Judicial system."
