    "content": "Hon. Temporary Speaker, there are individuals who went to court. I know it is their right to do so, but I think we need to pass some laws. That when one is going to court on a matter of public importance, one should not just file the case alone. They must accompany it with about a million signatures from across the country. How do you challenge a public fund that touches on the lives of Kenyans and you are just an individual, running a Non- Governmental Organization (NGO), receiving funding from unknown donors, people whom you want to please and show that you are doing something? This is putting us in a situation where the children of Kenya cannot go to school. Some of us are here because we went to school. Some of us come from backgrounds that, if it were not for education, we would not be where we are today. You are denying the children of Kenya a chance to go to school because of your own activism. The activism is not just with these people who went to court. It has also infiltrated our judicial system. That is something that needs to be dealt with. I am not condemning the Judiciary as such but, when you find a Judiciary which makes a ruling on an Act of Parliament of 2013, but without any prompting, mention something about the Act of 2015, then you know that, that is judicial activism."
