    "content": "It is also very good to know that once this Bill is passed, you will not have to travel far and wide to look for the courts. They will be readily available even at the county level where everybody can air their grievances and are heard that easily. This Bill also helps us when it comes to management. The court will be managed and we are going to have effectiveness, efficiency and accountability. So, we will not hear that the aggrieved is the one who has been penalized at the end of the day. We have known some cases that have gone on for many years. Some people even die when their cases are still going on in court. This dispute resolution mechanism will help people because all cases do not have to be taken to court. At least, there is a mechanism somewhere where you can sit, agree and get a solution between parties, rather than both of them rushing to court. When everybody rushes to court, we have so many pending cases at the High Court. This Bill also talks about the timelines where we will know when courts are supposed to go for recess. It is good because everybody will know that they have taken a break. It is also good to know when the sitting of the court is on. They have established a committee to oversee that all those courts are running smoothly. With a schedule like that on, when you know the calendar of the court, somebody does not have to travel when the courts are not sitting. Somebody or lawyers will not cheat because members of the public, even at the grassroots level, will know when the recess is supposed to be taking place at the High Court. This Bill is also good because we will know who the president of judges is. We will also know the functions of that president and how the elections will be held and how that president can be removed. All that has been stipulated in the Bill. So, when all these changes are enhanced, we are going to have a smooth running of the High Court. It is really going to help the Republic of Kenya to go through the process of providing justice to this nation, so that our people cannot say that there is no justice. With proper management and administration, I know we are going to have a smooth sailing and running of that organization. Thank you very much, Hon. Deputy speaker. I support."
