    "content": "that it is important to have faith in our institutions. Lack of faith in institutions results in anarchy. For that reason, corruption and non-adherence to the Constitution must be addressed in a manner that can restore the public’s faith. Currently, there are many issues in the Judiciary. Kenyans are losing trust and faith in it because some of the decisions that are emanating from there are not necessarily constitutional. Yesterday, I came across a judge who issued a court order in Mombasa while another judge in Kwale issued a contrary order on the same issue. Those counties are next to each other. I was shocked. One judge issued that order four days earlier than the other. I am sure that the other one knew what had happened. I am not running a country, but a country cannot be run in that manner. Kenyans should not be forced to lose faith in the institutions that they created in the Constitution. Parliament has passed many Bills. It is one of the institutions that conducts public participation extensively compared to the other two arms of Government. We can do better. I was in Parliament last year when the President gave his State of the Nation Address. This year’s Address was far more promising and satisfying than any other. I hope and pray that things get better because a lot has been achieved economically. After the broad-based Government was formed, things are changing for the better and Kenyans have a lot of faith and hope. The shilling has been stabilised, and inflation has come down. We are praying and hoping that the interest rates will come down in a short time. They have shown signs of coming down. God has blessed us with rain. If our people engage in good farming, this country will flourish. We must give our people hope. We must live on hope. There is nothing to support, as the Leader of the Majority Party said. Therefore, I take note of what the President said. As the Minority Party, we are watching. We will raise our voices where we see a wrong, and we will support where it is right. Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker."
