    "content": "Yes, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I want to support the Petitioner. The Constitution is very clear. Article 169 talks about the composition of the subordinate courts. These are the magistrates’ courts, the Kadhis courts, the court martial and any court or local tribunal as may be established by an Act of Parliament other than the courts established under Article 162(2). I agree with the great lady from Nakuru. Before devolution and even now, Kenyans have been suffering under the arms of the inspectorate and courts which are being established at the basement of county governments. Suspects are taken there and they do not get access to justice through their lawyers. I am sure the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs will deal with this matter. If any Kenyan violates any law of the land, that Kenyan must be subjected to the courts identified in the Constitution. Not every county government or municipal government will have its own courts. The people who are in the inspectorate departments are not trained; they are not police officers or CID officers. They do not know the law. What goes on there is just corruption and harassment. I support the Petition."
