    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, first of all, let me commend the Ministry for trying to improve the courts, particularly Siaya and Kisumu Law Courts, which are heavily congested. However, expression of will to allocate money to improve a facility is not enough without proper supervision. We, as leaders, have spoken about the tendering process in Siaya Law Courts for about nine months. There is controversy as to who should be awarded this tender. Everybody thinks that they are trying to award this contract to somebody who is not a local. The same thing is happening in Kisumu. I was in Kisumu yesterday and the biggest controversy is that the Kisumu Law Courts have been contracted to a company that is linked to Kirinyaga Construction Company. Could the Minister assure this House that she is going to look into the general complaints of the staff in these law courts? In Siaya, the magistrates themselves are complaining. The good intention of the Government should be taken care of, so that the people do not feel short-changed at the end of the day."
