    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I would like to support the Petitioner. Before the new Constitution, these courts used to exist. They used to exist under the old law. For example, there is a court at City Hall. Ordinarily, it would be a normal magistrate’s court which would entertain city council or municipal matters. After that, it would go back to normal business. Because the structure exists, the normal court system could have magistrates’ courts so that county matters can be handled in a legal way. What is happening right now is illegal and should not be entertained. Counties have no mandate under the law to operate courts. The normal court system can be used to handle certain matters in relation to the county. Some of the counties have matters relating to environment and health, and there must be a proper way of ensuring that while the normal court system which is being used is applied properly, matters relating to counties and health can also be entertained but in a new framework of law. As things stand now, such courts do not exist. Thank you for the opportunity."
