This Bill enhances the exercise of justice for small claimants who have lost a lot of money. In some cases, people spend a lot of money seeking justice. The lower courts will be inexpensive and people will be able to access justice.

I would like to say that the lower courts will be accessible in a devolved system because they will be established in the sub-counties. The lower courts will be established in the sub- counties.

Article 15 of this Bill is very relevant. It talks about ordinary persons making the claim from a certain limit of the jurisdiction of the court. This is very relevant. It also talks about the subject matter of the claim which should be within the local limits of jurisdiction.

So, the people who will be serving in those lower courts should be identified within the locality. They should be qualified and competent to serve our people with diligence.
