    "content": "I did a lot of research on her. I really wanted to be sure of the person we are getting into this very important institution, which happens to be the hope of ordinary citizens. I came across a lot of good achievements. Besides heading the women movements, her record on children and gender rights, as well as her role in drafting the Constitution 2010 and in particular the Bill of Rights, stood out. Last year, Justice Koome was a runner-up for the UN Persons of the Year Award for her advocacy for the rights of children. She is also a known fire-brand reformer for she was amongst the lawyers who were involved in the clamour to repeal Section 2A of the Constitution of Kenya in the 1980s, which made the country a one-party rule then. Therefore, we owe her for the multi-party democracy that we are enjoying now. There are many good things that were said about her. However, when I looked at some of the petitions against her, they lacked substance. Amongst one of the things, she was being accused of, was making a ruling on gay rights which I find to be ridiculous. I support the Motion. We are looking up to her. We hope she will uphold the integrity and the independence of the Judiciary."
