    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, what has been said by my colleague is indeed true. This House, on 29th of May, was able to pass the Judicature Amendment Bill which has already been assented to by His Excellency the President in which case, we will be able to increase the number of judges from 70 currently to 150 and those in the Court of Appeal from 14 to 30. On when this will be done, I am aware that as we are talking now, the Judicial Service Commission is beginning to advertise for these positions. This then will really be a solution to this problem so that we have enough judges now to deal with these criminal appeals. It is indeed true that there are some cases which have been outstanding for a very long time. It is not fair to our Kenyan people and I believe with this move now, we are going to have a solution to this challenge."
