    "content": "should serve part-time, just like in other countries. Then we agree on how it works out. If that is the solution that will bring back the confidence in this Republic of Kenya, so be it. Mr. Speaker, Sir, on Judiciary, I served and I have the privilege of information. Kenyans file more than 500,000 cases per year. I saw Chief Justice (CJ) Martha Koome, respectfully, saying they can open up until midnight to handle these issues that we are experiencing. However, she has never done anything on clearance of the backlog. The bitterness Kenyans have is that they have court cases and those people who do not have the means, have not received a court order. They are suffering, but the CJ, just to appear popular, is just giving a Public Relations (PR) exercise to the gallery. Nobody is safe from Gen. Z. She was visited the other day in her office. She thinks that by saying let us handle all the protesters who are brought to court yet they are not goons, is fair. The real problem with the judiciary is the backlog of cases. She should give us a matrix and the timeline for clearing cases. How can you justify that from 1982 up to today, there is a succession case? It is corruption. Kenyans are very mad with all the institutions. I want to tell everybody who is serving as a State officer that no one is safe. Sen. Aaron Cheruiyot will tell you that when Hon. Wamboka Wanami and Samuel Atandi wanted to cross for safety, they could not. The people would say, ndio wale . Some things happened that I am not comfortable sharing, because this is a parliamentary-guarded programme. It is PG-rated. I can see Sen. Faki is interested. I will tell him in camera Finally, on austerity measures. I plead with the President and all of us, as we go for austerity measures, just in two minutes, please let us not cut the amount that was supposed to go to JSS for 46,000 teachers. Most of these 46,000 are young people. If we can confirm them to Permanent and Pensionable (PP), we shall have been fair to the young people in 6,000 Junior Secondary Schools. Let us also not reduce the allocation to counties. As the Senate Majority Leader has said, it was not pro rata. It was based on equity. Let us also not cut money that was going to confirm the UHC intern doctors, among others, within the medical sector. With those many remarks, I support this Motion. Let us bring back this nation to where it should be. I thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir"
