    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, as I refer to the speech of the President, I would like to comment on the issue of the Judiciary. I welcome the support given to the Judiciary by the President. I welcome the respect that the President demonstrated first, by appointing the six judges. The six had not been appointed by the previous administration despite numerous court orders. That was a good move. It is also good to allow the Judiciary to control its own purse. I will compare apples to apples. In the event that the President can stand and say; “I will give the Judiciary x amount of money. I will approve the oversight kitty for the Senate. I will push for the National Government Constituencies Development Fund (NGCDF).” We all become gullible and say; “Hooray, Mr. President!’ Let all Kenyans be reminded that the body that controls the purse is this Parliament. We are the ones that divide the money between the two levels of Government."
