Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I stand to support this High Court Organization and Administration Bill, 2015. This is a very nice Bill. When I looked at Clause 12, I was very happy because I looked at having a court in each of the counties or constituencies. I come from Isiolo County where we have three sub-counties that are about a distance of 300 kilometres from the county headquarters. They only have one court. Garbatulla is about 300 kilometres from the headquarters and Merti is about 270 kilometres. Most of the time, accessing justice is hard for the rural ...

system, it will help many communities. It should also be given resources. Elders should be given an opportunity to help in resolving some of the disputes we have in our counties. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I know that the issue of monitoring and evaluation is critical in our courts. I know that the moment we finalise with the structuring and putting in place registries, we will have accountable officers; we will be able to hold officers responsible for things that they do currently. It is important to note that there is a lot of corruption going on in courts. That ...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I thank the Member for that correction. Kenya is faced with a low productivity level, with a total factor productivity index of less than a unit. The country’s labour and capital productivity index was between 0.84 and 0.46 respectively in 2009.

She is ranked behind Tunisia, South Africa, Mauritia, Egypt, Morocco, Algeria and Liberia in terms of global competitiveness. Generally, productivity has been incorrectly equated ...

The country also lacks policy, legal and institutional framework to anchor productivity initiatives, and provide the required impulses for effective productivity management in the country. When we looked at the emerging issues and challenges, the following emerged:- 1. There is poor productivity ...
