The wheels of justice turn exceedingly slow in our country. Laws are complex, dated and not people-friendly – which is why access to justice remains low and slow in this land. The lack of access to and miserably slow delivery of justice, coupled with lawlessness and weak legal institutions, have had devastating socioeconomic consequences but people’s safety and security, and their right to justice and fairness do not figure as priorities for our rulers. What matters the most is money, money and money – for the rulers.
