    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, this Question was asked as a Question by Private Notice before Parliament went on recess because of the serious situation which existed in Siaya and Bondo Districts as regards court cases. I want to tell the Vice-President that we, as leaders and residents of Siaya and Bondo Districts, wish that what he is saying was true. It is 2128 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES June 28, 2007 common knowledge that they post to our district, incompetent magistrates or magistrates who have failed in other districts. In Siaya for example, the mention of a case can take six months because there is one magistrate who doubles up for the ever absent magistrate in Bondo and the ones who are ever absent in Maseno and Ukwala. Could the Vice-President kindly ensure that we get an adequate number of magistrates and that the one who is a drunkard and incompetent, who is currently in place, is transferred so that our people do not languish in jail for petty crimes which can be sorted out by payment of a Kshs100 fine?"
