    "content": "Two, Section 7(2) will be on the succession mandate and Section 7(3) on the land and environment mandate. Lastly, just to make it clear, cases of election petitions relating to Members of County Assemblies (MCAs) within the third jurisdiction, should vest with the Magistrate’s Courts as well. We have many other provisions relating to other courts that the Committee will be tabling in its report and at the Committee stage. In the end, we are happy that the Magistrate’s Courts Bill is going to be revised and it is going to usher into this country a better regime on access to justice, and a better regime on how Magistrates’ Courts handle cases. In the long term as a Committee, we continue to be concerned by this dichotomy of magistrates and judges. In the long term, we hope that all of them can be judges so that we get away from this dichotomy of magistrates and judges, when the legal qualifications are the same."
