    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am happy to report that this is one area where our reform initiatives are already bearing fruits. The Chief Justice and the Judicial Service Commission, where it is my privilege to serve as a member, have over the last two months employed a very large number of judges. I think there were 50 judges and 200 magistrates. In another two weeks, we will be hiring another 15 Judges of the Court of Appeal. The Members should take comfort in the fact that the Judiciary is in a reform mood and delays in cases will be a thing of the past. By the beginning of next year, we will be hiring magistrates at the resident magistrates’ level, so that every county, by the time we go to the counties, will have a substantial number of resident magistrates. I want to assure the Member that there is no danger that our young people graduating from the Kenya School of Law will be without jobs in the foreseeable future."
