    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me the opportunity to contribute to this Bill. I stand to support this Bill, which I believe will bring some sanity and ease problems encountered in our courts of law. It will be a good indicator to the litigants who go to seek justice in various levels of our courts. It should be accepted that any process in court is an expensive exercise. There are a lot of limitations where litigants go to seek justice from very far away where their matters are heard. With the magistrates getting a leeway or a window to hear cases which have been in the domain of the High Court, and other courts, it will be easy for the people who are seeking justice. It will be convenient to them because they will access justice easily. Hon. Speaker, there is the issue of the magistrates getting bigger windows to hear cases that have different limits such as succession limits. Initially, you would find that some courts could not hear succession cases of certain amounts or value, thus forcing one to go and seek justice in a court that is far away. For example, succession cases in Meru County are done in Meru and yet, Meru is very big. There are many such cases originating from my place in Maua. One is forced to go to Meru to file a case. The cases pile so much that there are those that have taken 20 years to be heard because of their cumbersome nature. I personally find this as a relief to our people, especially those who are seeking the letters of administration.
