    "content": "denies the people the opportunity to acquire land title deeds or any documents that show that the land belongs to them. Sometimes, the procedures which are used affect the people who live in those areas. I have an adjudication section in my constituency which was demarcated 20 years ago, but due to some weird procedures which were used by the adjudication committee, most of the people lost their land. This Bill will allow the people who are aggrieved to seek administrative justice either through the courts where they can have court reviews or tribunals where those matters can be settled. There is also another issue which has been giving us a lot of misunderstandings especially in terms of court procedures. We believe that justice must be dispensed in time that would not deny justice to the persons who are seeking their rights in those courts. On several occasions, courts have been extending the time of dispensing justice. They have been taking unreasonable time to clear the cases which are before them. The creation of these administration offices to deal with administering justice will assist in matters where members of the public have been faced with undue delays in courts and in the dispensation of justice. I have been looking at this Bill and thought it will be an opportunity for us to cure some of the wrongs which have been done to the public. I have a situation where a court of law has delayed a case of a person who was exhumed and taken back to the mortuary. For more than seven years, the person has been in the mortuary and nobody has decided when he should be buried and where. These are issues in which we need to have other procedures which can allow the members of the public to seek either court review or judicial review, so that these cases can be dispensed with and the people allowed to bury their loved ones. I support this Bill. I hope the implementation of this Bill will assist in settling most of the issues that are facing the public."
