    "content": "I cannot agree more with what my learned colleague, Sen. Orengo, has said this afternoon, about the brilliance of some of the names of the people who have been proposed to be judges. I want to disclose that some of these proposed judges were with me at the University of Nairobi (UoN). The proposed Justice, Evans Kiago Makori, a native of Ibacho Village in Kisii County, was my classmate. He is one of the few students that won our admiration in the class of 1990 to 1993. Mr. Makori is an inspiration from his village back home. From Form One all through to Form Six, he attended a Harambee School called Ibacho Secondary School. In fact, we used to crack jokes in campus those days, asking him why he chose to go to somebody’s home and call it a school because nobody knew Ibacho Secondary School. That is how hard he has fought to reach where he is. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, if you read the website of the Judiciary, you will see that Magistrate Evans Makori has been a force behind many of the reforms that have been witnessed in the Judiciary. He is the one who was behind e-hearing of cases. He is the one who started digital hearing of cases while serving as a Chief Magistrate in Mombasa County. Magistrate Judy Omange was two years behind me in campus. We used to crack jokes that she hailed from a district where professors are counted per square kilometre. She is from Seme. I know there are some people who are serving in the Legal Department in this House who were our classmates. I want to affirm that native of Seme is a brilliant lawyer. She was a very active member of the Law Club at the UoN. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I believe Justice Odunga was a classmate of Sen. (Dr.) Ochillo-Ayacko."
