I support the Petitioner. Counties should stop forming kangaroo courts and institutions with a view of getting money from their residents. We can see this happening. As the Petition goes before the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs, I want to urge the membership of this House and particularly the Members of the Committee to go further than just looking at the Petition and recommend a system or a way in which any county that comes up with a city court, for instance, should be asked not to do it at the county level. That is a national Government function. Any establishment of any law enforcement institution should be left to the national Government. Counties should have nothing to do with the establishment of courts, quasi-tribunals or extrajudicial institutions because those institutions are only used to extort funds from residents of those counties at the pretence of law enforcement. I, therefore, support that Petition. Thank you."}
