"content": "work of legislation. As my other colleagues have said, I believe in Kenya we are just used to Ministers and we should call them Ministers. The word âsecretaryâ, I believe, is not right. So, let us just call them Ministers. I also believe that there is need to have deputy ministers because they will deputize the Minister when he is not there. Business should not stop because the Minister is not there. So, I believe somebody will come up with an amendment so that we can have deputy ministers and ministers. I am very happy because of the proposals about the Judiciary. We have had a lot of problems in this country emanating from the Judiciary. Justice has never been seen in this country for many years because of the way the Judiciary operates. I think, for the first time, we are making the Judiciary independent. Once the Judiciary is independent, I believe it will be able to carry out its functions independently without bias. So, the establishment of the Judicial Service Commission (JSC) is something that we have been crying for but, for now, we can see it being included. The issue of setting up a Judiciary Fund so that the Judiciary can be independent is a very important provision which will make that arm of the Government independent and do its work very well. The Senate is important and it needs to be strong. I want to support the Senate the way it has been presented in this document. I would have even loved the Senate to be given more powers than what it has been given."
