    "content": "The Chairman of the Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs and my colleagues should bear in mind that the level of the courts we have, apart from saying they are Magistrates’ Courts, which used to be low level courts--- The counties are now governments on their own and require higher calibre personnel to deliver the same kind of service. Money will continue to trickle from here to the Constituencies. We said that 15 per cent and more should go to the county and that will continue happening. It will come a time when Nairobi is going to become a shell. In fact, those agitating to become the President of Kenya in the coming years will find themselves dealing with only three functions, among them national co-ordination, which will be unnecessary because the counties will be functioning. The counties will be dealing with security, which means when I become the Governor in 2017, I will deal with my security in a different situation. I am not going to rely on here, crying of insecurity yet I am facilitated. I will have my own security. I will have in place a structure that will not only give security an opportunity to relate with the head office and also serve me. With regard to the issue of the court, this should be the start of what should be done. We should think further, so that as we deal with the Magistrates’ Courts we ensure that they are answerable to some structure, which should exist. If that structure is not there they will be answering in a vacuum, which will be useless."
