    "content": "House; the other arms of Government do not get to come to the House. We must, therefore, play our role, as the Chair here has decided to do. Madam Temporary Speaker, there are certain parts of the country where we need to have much more done by the Judiciary. There are a number of people who have never been to a courtroom, and they do not know anything about our laws. There are people in this country who, when they go to court, they do not know what to do. I can quote from my own county of West Pokot. Until recently, when the Judiciary decided to have a Judiciary Day, a majority of the people did not even know that we have Judges and Magistrates. Therefore, a lot has to be done to make our people aware of the law. It is not just the functions that we know here; it is important to also create awareness among the people. If you survey this country, the literacy rate in certain parts of the country requires that we have to simplify the law, for them to understand. Therefore, we have a lot of work to do, and I agree that the money needs to go to the Judiciary. We need to support that. I do not want to condemn anybody, at this moment. With those few remarks, I beg to support."
