    "content": "But even as we put this law in place, we need to bear in mind that there are things which do not need to be legislated for them to take place. I have given the example of low absorption of the Judiciary’s budget. Every year, this House goes that extra mile to ensure that the Judiciary has money. If you look at the Budget Policy Statement we passed, we have proposed again about Kshs17 billion yet last year they spent about Kshs8 billion. So, the question I am asking myself and the challenge we want to throw to the Judiciary is to make sure that while this House has goodwill, to make sure that we provide resources for them so that they are able to meet the expectations of Kenyans, it has to go an extra mile to make sure they use the funds and implement. It does not make any sense to any Kenyan to have money in the books which is not spent. That is the challenge I want to throw to the Judiciary staff. Where they have no capacity, let them build it so that the resources we give them as a House are utilised for the benefit of Kenyans."
