    "content": "On the Judiciary, it has not worked in the past and we have criticized it a lot but we must remember that the performance of any institution is greatly influenced by the environment and the systems in place in that institution. The provisions in this draft constitution regarding the manner of appointment of officers, financing operations, the independence guaranteed under it to the Judiciary, the establishment of the Supreme Court, all these are important and will improve the performance of the Judiciary. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, devolution is probably the greatest innovation in this draft constitution. We will succeed in improving our economic performance, because through devolution we will be able to harness the energies of every Kenyan to contribute to the national development of this nation. Since there are many people who want to speak, let me come to the conclusion. I know that there are people in this country who want the status quo to continue. Kenyans want a new constitution and we should give them the opportunity to have it. Finally, I appeal to hon. Members to rise to the occasion by sacrificing personal interests for the bigger national interests. We are not making a constitution for ourselves, our political parties or even our communities. We are making a constitution for Kenya and for posterity. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I support."
