    "content": " I want to take a different tangent because quite a number of people who are familiar with the courts have contributed. In the last 10 years or so since the coming into force of the new Constitution and the last two Chief Justices, there has been a lot of improvement in the court systems in the country. Also, there has been an improvement as to the funding of the Judiciary. I am sure that you, having been in the legal profession for a long time and familiar with the country, you are aware of the efforts made since the 1980s to improve the system. A lot of time was taken by the administrators then to make sure that justice is brought near the people. One of the biggest improvements is the court users’ session between the Judiciary, the Law Society of Kenya and the court users in a region. They come together and share something similar to public participation. This is so as to improve on what happens in court, including the handling of sensitive cases like defilement and so on."
