    "content": "At the outset, I want to state that I support this Bill which seeks to introduce and establish a framework within which legal aid may be provided to Kenyans who need such support. Many Kenyans have ended up in jail when they ought not to have been in prison. Legal aid is one of the important requirements in a court case. It is an element of rights of the people. There are several reasons – including ignorance or lack of information and poverty, among others – that can lead a member of the public not to seek legal aid. The issue of introducing a legal aid scheme is one of the things that are critical in administration of justice in this country. The board which is being proposed in this Bill will guide the operations of the scheme, including formulation and review of policies."
