    "content": "The underlying theme of this legislation even as we look at it in depth should be how we should make our courts more efficient and accessible. That is because access to justice is, indeed, the hallmark of human rights. If Kenyans have been provided with the right to go to court and access justice but cannot access it because of the fact that the courts nearest to them do not have sufficient jurisdiction to deal with the matters and they have to go to the High Court, then that is, indeed, denying Kenyans justice. So, the only one thing I would like to comment on is on employment and labour relations. It is important. I would like to differ with my colleague, the Member for Kiharu, that even matters of employment and labour relations claims should be dealt with in Resident Magistrates’ Courts. If you only look at it from the perspective of the big cases - whether it is matters to do with teachers, nurses or unions that are of certain stature and size in this country, then you might be a bit sympathetic to his argument."
