    "content": "Thank you. The information is about having the proceedings commence on time. If we say that proceedings will never commence until everybody has a lawyer, we are going to injure the poor and the children more because they will have to remain in prison and remand homes for many more months. It is prudent that speed is also important in trials. Sometimes, when somebody is poor, you want the trial to be done speedily. We have already established the Small Claims Courts for speedy resolution of some of those small cases and matters. In the interest of that, Hon. Mwaura, given the two balances, it is better that the law accepts that trials can proceed whether you have legal aid or not, so that we also do not put people in incarceration for too long. Thank you."
