    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I agree that it will be desirable to have, at least, a minimum of a High Court establishment in every county to make justice accessible and to make justice easier for the people of this country. You may recall - or you may be too young to know - that we have had in the past cases where the only place people used to go for justice was the High Court in Nairobi. We have come a long way. We opened a High Court in Mombasa, followed by Nakuru, Kisumu and, eventually, Eldoret followed. Now, we have High Courts in places like Busia and Malindi. But every time you go to those courts--- Busia was opened, for example, as an annex to Bungoma High Court. Within three years, there were more cases being filed at the annex than in the main court. That created another backlog. The judge was an Assize Judge visiting. He was never there to give citizens urgent orders. Some marauding auctioneer wants to grab somebody’s property and you want a quick court order to stop him. You will have to wait for a judge who will come next week as a visiting judge. Justice is denied and injustices are occasioned."
