    "content": "This is a very important report. I commend Sen. Omogeni for coming up with it. Let it go on record that the defense of our Judiciary is paramount we cannot loosen the guard. If we were to do so, then we would get back to the era where instructions were being given and people taken to court at night. Pronouncements were made and people put in Kamiti Maximum Security Prison at night. For whatever it takes, we must defend the independence of the Judiciary. One of the reasons I believe we need to do so is because we cannot allow competent and very intelligent men and women in this country who are supposed to serve in the Judiciary end up losing their positions of serving wananchi in this country because of the perceptions of how they are taken to be inclined. Finally, let this report be a guide towards the necessary legal reforms that probably we may require to make so that, that ambiguity – if there is any in the Constitution and law - is addressed in future. We cannot be sure who our next President will be tomorrow or in the next 20 years. The institution of the Judiciary is what we must jealously guard."
