    "content": "Kshs100, 000. It is again allowed that because of inflation rates, the Chief Justice (CJ) can adjust the rates. I think that is a step in the right direction. The issue that you should not split these cases to smaller amounts, that if it is one case that is more than Kshs100, 000, then it should not be in this court is good. That in Section 14 of the Bill, which says they do not allow dividing of these claims. I think it is the best way to go. Because many hon. Members spoke about it, I do not want to be repetitive. This is the best way to go because it will hasten justice, and make it readily available even in the sub-county, or as it is proposed have them in the lower divisions, as low as a ward level. Having them in the ward level will make justice cheap. This is because at times if we want to access a court in my constituency, we have to go to Nakuru, which is very far. In some cases, sub-counties are very far from the headquarters yet we get so many cases coming to court the same day and time thus making it hectic for people who are not able to go to court every time. When people go to the current courts, they are told that their case will be mentioned on a certain date. They are given a date and after that another one. It is very expensive and nobody compensates them. Even if they are to claim their bus fare, it takes quite a long time before they are compensated."
