    "content": "Very well. You have made an important point that 60 per cent of the citizenry of this country have their matters dealt within the subordinate courts. It is for that reason that in Article 23, Parliament is required to pass legislation giving original jurisdiction to subordinate courts in appropriate cases in the enforcement of the Bill of Rights. That is a powerful message that the country needs to know that this is happening and, sooner than later, Kenyans who may not have been able to access the High Court to seek redress in the area of enforcement, infringement or threat to infringement of any of their fundamental rights are now going to have an opportunity to test the enforceability of these rights even in subordinate courts. It is a very important point. Hon. Gikaria."
