    "content": "Yes, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. Very quickly for the Justice and Legal Affairs Committee where Hon. Fatuma sits as a Member, we are now on 26 High Courts; one in every county. We have not even done 47 High Courts which is the vision of the Constitution. To really aspire for 1,450 Small Claims Courts is way above what the country can afford. The first step is to put the 47 High Courts so that every county has a High Court and then we go to the sub-county. In the fullness of time, as the country develops, we can do the rest. It is absolutely not possible in terms of budgetary allocations and the growth of the Judiciary to aspire for 1,450 Small Claims Courts. If you look at the economies of scale, you will find that you set up a place where we can process these cases in a faster way, but in the fullness of time, these are some of the aspirations that the country could have. The Committee opposes this amendment."
