    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, thank you for giving me this opportunity and I think that time is adequate for the two of us to share. I will just take a few minutes, say three minutes and leave the rest to my colleague. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, the best thing this country ever received since Independence is devolution. This Bill that I rise to support shows that this country is now moving towards the right direction to ensure that even justice is devolved to the very areas that we are talking of, which are our counties. Some of these areas have been marginalised for quite a long time. They have historically been disadvantaged for various reasons and justice has been administered selectively with regard to regions. There has also been lack of infrastructure; those are the reasons that have contributed to poor delivery of justice in some of these regions. This Bill says we are going to have subordinate courts within our counties. This will help ease congestion within our main courts. It will also ensure that the cost of accessing justice is also reduced to the local mwananchi. It will quite significantly contribute to creation of employment one way or the other.
