Dr. Salome Mbugua:

People from ethnic minorities have been invited to do jury duty but they never actually get to be on the jury itself. I did not want to emphasise the need to ensure that they are included in the jury, because we do receive the letters. I too received one some time back. To get onto the jury itself however is next to impossible because one goes to the court, stays and then is not called in. It would be important to ensure that there is good representation. Maybe a proportional system could be introduced to at least have two people on the jury from different backgrounds. Perhaps one cannot represent or cover all of the grounds where people experience discrimination, but it is definitely important that we have representation in those juries.
