God bless Maraga
This guy is nothing more than a politician. **There is no such thing as FREE.* It's taxpayer's money he is promising to use for the legal services. *NO!!!* TAXPAYER'S MONEY IS NOT YOURS TO MAKE PROMISES WITH!
You're logic is weird. I mean what would you rather the tax payers money be used for? Stolen???
Ms Ikonge *I'd rather the government gets its sticky fingers out of my pocket. Period* A 30% income tax + 5% consumption tax, not to mention a corporate tax rate of another 30% for locally based businesses or 37.5% for non locally based business + other levies. Pay for your own legal fees. Wakenya wanajua kutumia pesa za wengine tuu. The rest of us have to earn this money ourselves.
Hmm I see. So you wouldn't care for those arrested being the breadwinners of the family who can't afford to pay legal fees and kept in demand for decades without trial and when family has to find a lawyer and the lawyers swindle them out of money? I mean wouldn't it be better if the judiciary could hire lawyers who are then appointed to these cases so that things would move faster and tax money is used to pay the lawyers? Wouldn't that be an efficient use of money rather than the continuous get rich schemes other politicians are busy doing with the money you and I pay as tax????
I mean think of the job creation? The benefits of affordable lawyers, removable of backlogs? I mean the ripple effects are so much greater. Think for a second about how if he were to actually put this in place how such a system will be beneficial to all. I mean, there will be issues to iron out. But it's the first person I've seen with real plan to solve the judiciary's problems.
In this mans hands, yes. In all the stations he has worked, he ensured to clear backlogs and for everyone's case to be heard. The lawyers in all those places were pleased with the transparency he portrayed and he is a principled man who has never and will never take a bride. So when it comes to cleaning and providing the less fortunate with services, I would trust this man with tax payers money.
