"content": "Since the Small Claims Courts will be dealing with matters of small contracts involving the sale and supply of goods and services, being informal in nature will help. It may involve what is done by the Meru council of elders, namely, the Njuri Ncheke, whereby their determination of a matter in most cases is usually fair, leaving people feeling that justice has been done. That is a place where you are not likely to encounter cheating as it happens in the ordinary courts. This will give credence to the Small Claims Courts and it will be good for the majority of Kenyans. In my constituency, someone may have to travel long distances to get justice. The fact that this Bill does not allow representation by someone of the legal profession will make it easy because the use of smart and cunning lawyers may deny other people justice. Also, the appointment of the officer of the court - the Adjudicator - makes it friendlier."
