    "content": "THAT, aware that devolution was meant to devolve governance and public service across the country, including access to court services; further aware that courts are a crucial part of a functioning governance system without which the administration of justice cannot happen effectively and efficiently, deeply concerned that most counties across the country lack a division of the High Court forcing litigants to travel long distances thus occasioning delays in hearing and additional costs while pursuing justice; further aware that the Constitution of Kenya, 2010 under Article 22 on enforcement of Bill of Rights, Article 50 on fair hearing and Article 6(3) on reasonable access to public services in all the parts of the Republic cannot be fully realized if the courts remain out of reach for a majority of the citizens, this House resolves that a division of the High Court be set up in every county in order to ease access to justice."
