    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me an opportunity to support this very important Motion on consideration of the Judiciary Fund Regulation 2018, which came pursuant to Legal Notice No.117 of 2018. This is a very important Fund and our Committee has annulled the regulations for obvious reasons. First and foremost, the purpose of the Fund was not properly understood. If all court fines in the country went to a particular Fund, then it means the real purpose and objectivity would be lost. Court fines should remain as thus. They are part of the Appropriation in Aid of the Judiciary and there are proper procedures on how to collect the funds. On any other fund set up for the benefit of the Judiciary, first and foremost, there has to be public participation by the stakeholders. One of the biggest stakeholders in matters Judiciary is the Law Society of Kenya (LSK) because they represent many clients who particularly deal with the Judiciary on a day to day basis. That is a very important arm of the administration of justice for the lawyers in public participation. Also, any other person who feels affected in one way or the other should participate.First and foremost, there was no public participation and the Judiciary has made judgements and pronouncements which show what must happen in the event of public participation and in relation to this sort of funds."
