The court procedures have remained unknown to a large population of Kenya. By so doing, most Kenyans have deliberately kept away from courts and they only go to court only when they cannot avoid it. A case in hand is in Embu where a grandmother of 85 years was put behind bars because of contempt of court. I am very much convinced that this grandmother did not understand what contempt of court was and so, she did not understand why she was serving a jail term."}
