    "content": "Americans say: “If it is working, do not fix it.” The JSC is working. We have seen judges being dealt with under the JSC. I personally have reported judges who have taken bribes and have gone there and testified. There are many others who have done so and it is working. Mr. Speaker, Sir, we are not trying to create an organ that will do what our Prof. Okoth Ogendo used to tell us: “Visit on you the fear of God and the terror of the devil, tied together.” You can imagine what you can do when you are staring at the fear of God and the terror of the devil. We should not do this to our country. I urge that, that provision is a claw back on the independence of the Judiciary. We need to rethink it seriously. I fully support that we give more money to counties. In fact, as the National Super Alliance (NASA), we used to fight for 45 percent. We have not moved to 35 percent. We have also said that institutions of governance in Kenya are too weak to manage these resources. These include the office of the Auditor-General, the Controller of Budget (CoB), the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC), and the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP). It is on record from our President that Kenyans working for the Government are stealing Ksh2 billion daily and they stand here and tell us they are more hardworking than others. Imagine Kshs 2 billion daily!"
