    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Speaker for giving me the opportunity to contribute to this Bill. At the outset, I support this Bill. Having the court is another avenue to explore other means to solve problems and dispense justice within a short time. Other courts take long to administer justice to people who have small claims. Because of that, our magistrate and high courts are full of small claims cases. Because of that burden, judges are not performing to the expectations of the citizens. Our courts are, indeed, full of small claims cases. We want to relieve the high court and magistrates’ courts from dealing with small claims cases so that they can handle bigger cases. The small claims cases need to be handled by the small claims court. The removal of legal representation in that court is a relief to the people who have no money. Getting justice in this country is very expensive. The people who are poor and cannot afford legal expenses cannot get justice in this country, let alone get closer to justice because they have no money to engage an expert in law or an advocate. This is a relief, especially to the poor people. The small claims court gives everybody a room to represent themselves and argue their case before the adjudicator to receive justice."
