    "content": " Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. I welcome the decision to have Ajuoga appearing in the list. However, the name Rutto is becoming too much in this country. It is synonymous with the prevailing appointments. Therefore, in line with our constitutional dictates, we have to rethink the idea of regional and ethnic balance in appointive positions. The JSC is a very important component in the dispensation of justice in this country. Judges and magistrates get appointed through the JSC. When a Government turns rogue – there is nothing stopping this Government from becoming so – it is only the courts of law that can apply breaks to it. I am very afraid that there is an emerging trend in this House of debate being curtailed by Members who constantly say: “Put the Question.” What happened to debates in this House? That is the reason why people residing in State House have the temerity to tell us to vote in a particular way on Bills that come before this House. I challenge this House to step back, reflect, and retool as it discharges its mandate given by the people of Kenya. I support the appointment of Ajuoga in this respect and not Rutto."
