    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I heard the Minister for Justice, National Cohesion and Constitutional Affairs mention having a High Court per county. He must go beyond that. There are certain areas like Lodwar or Turkana where a High Court establishment in Lodwar may not be helpful to a citizen in Lokitaung. So, we need to find a way of how to give, at least, minimum dispensation of justice for the citizens. For example, you have a High Court in Kakamega. If its jurisdiction is to serve Kakamega County, unless you send there up to five or six judges, you will not serve them adequately. So, as we expand the Judicature Act, we need to give more judges. We also need to rationalize the number of judges who are being posted to stations. Apart from now leaving the old High Court as Supreme Court, Court of Appeal and the seat of the Chief Justice for administration, we need several High Court establishments in Nairobi. We have a High Court in Milimani. We need a High Court in Makadara, Kiambu, Ngong, Athi River, Thika and Kikuyu. That is the only way we will be able to serve this huge population in Nairobi and its environs."
