    "content": "I find this Bill appropriate and we need to support it. We really must consider the fate of the ordinary mwananchi who lives in regions that have been disadvantaged. We need to deliver justice to all persons in the country, especially those who have been unfortunate to access it for various reasons. Secondly, I must speak about the issue of administration of records, which is a very key thing. In this country so many matters are pending in court simply because the relevant files cannot be traced. Therefore, administration of justice and how it is managed within courts is also a problem. We all know what happened in Maseno University. Assuming that fire had gutted the entire registry of the High Court, what kind of damage would we be experiencing in this country? So, such occurrences can have quite a number of multiplier effects in terms of administration, minimising risks, ensuring that judicial services are effectively and efficiently administered in time. We know that justice delayed is justice denied. Lastly, I must talk about alternative dispute resolution (ADR) mechanism, which is key and significant. This country is one in which every person believes that they have to run to court when they are really aggrieved. We may not sufficiently be able to satisfy all the judicial needs of all Kenyans. Therefore, we must create some kind of alternative mechanisms, especially on arbitration and how we are supposed to administer justice. In a nutshell, this Bill has come at the right time. We need to support it, so that we can see effective administration of justice within our country. I thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker."
