    "content": "Honestly, the realities on the ground should have informed an older judge - and I do not pretend to be one and probably I will never be one - to determine the issues and come up with judgements that are in consonance with the realities on the ground. You give a judgement because somebody has appeared before you and you think that it is the convenience of the time, or you probably think that it is the right thing to do at the time without caring how it impacts on the wider public. Nobody lives in isolation in this country. Some of the judgements we have had in this country are, in my view, too activist and they do not help the country to move forward. The idea of why we have stratified our justice system to have the Magistrates’ Courts, the High Court, the Court of Appeal and the Supreme Court which, in my view, has done very dismally, was to make justice accessible to the people of Kenya. But I am not convinced that we are getting value for money with these new arrangements."
