    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I beg to move:- THAT, Clause 5 be amended- (i) in sub-clause (2)(a) by inserting the following words after the words “High Court of Kenya” “or a holder of a degree in social science” The purpose of my amendment is to expand access to justice for ordinary people. In addition, these small courts will ensure that there is access to justice for small cases. This is an area any professional can handle because of the experience required. This will ensure that some areas like northern Kenya or Turkana that may not have qualified lawyers to handle such cases are not disadvantaged. My amendment seeks to provide opportunity all the time so that all professionals who can understand the Constitution and the law are able to handle small cases in order for the clients to benefit."
