    "content": "It is very clear that of the three arms of the Government, the most underfunded is the Judiciary. The Judiciary, and to some extent Parliament, lack financial autonomy. Because of lack of financial autonomy, we become an appendage of the Executive. We always rely on the Executive for funds. This low funding of the Judiciary has led to a situation where there is no enough infrastructure in terms of court rooms and personnel. In our country, we have about 500 magistrates, which is quite a low figure compared to the number of the court cases that are filed each day. The same case applies to Judges of the Court of Appeal. Without enough manpower, we are bound to experience delays in hearing of cases. We all know that justice delayed is justice denied."
