    "content": " Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I stand here to plead, beseech and pray that we be fair. These constitutional office holders have not had a salary increment since 2001 to the extent that some of their juniors are now earning higher salaries than them because others have had their salary increments. Even us, hon. Members, our salaries have been reviewed. I think it is only fair and reasonable that we also allow the constitutional office holders to get their salary increment. And from a practical point of view, I am sure that if we increase the salaries of judges, the salaries of magistrates will also be reviewed and go up. So, if we do this, it will bring a stronger case for salaries of magistrates and executive officers to be increased. Lastly, we should not look at the holders of those offices. Let us look at those offices. We are not increasing the salary of Mr. Amos Wako, we are increasing the salary of the Attorney-General and Judges. It is the office and not the person! Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir."
