    "content": "country become better than it was before his decision. If you go round the country, you will see that people are very happy with the ruling that the Speaker made. They feel it was very important, impartial and it is serving to bring more peace in this country than it has been before. For the rest of that day, in my home area, there was a lot of tension and some people did not even open their business premises. However, after that ruling, I think the country went back to normal and work is going on. So, we need to thank him for that good gesture and decision he took on that day. On the Speech of the President, I stand here to support it. However, there are areas where we have reservations. As we heard during his Speech--- of course, he talked about reforms. However, what he mentioned about reforms was to give more money to the Judiciary and increasing the personnel. I do not think these are the only reforms we need in the Judiciary. After the last General Election, things became very difficult for this country; there were schools of thought that felt that if one party was aggrieved, then they needed to have addressed their issues in a court of law. If you were here, you heard what these parties were talking about. The Judiciary, as Kenyans take it today, is not well constituted and not ready to do the work that Kenyans expect it to do. Therefore, the reforms in the Judiciary are overdue. There are a lot of measures, which must be put in place to accept that there are reforms in the Judiciary. The same applies with the police. It is very difficult to comprehend the way the police work in this country. On Thursday, after the State Opening, I had a problem in my constituency where the neighbouring communities fought each other. Part of this was because of the Governmentâs delay to make a decision. Nevertheless, when I went there, I met the elders from both sides and we agreed to address the problems. I was accompanied by the two District Commissioners from Migori and Trans Mara. After three days, we had to go to the same area because some houses had been burnt. It appears as if the police need to have some command from a certain centre to give services to certain areas. For example, when I went to Migori in the Ogwedhi area where we have problems up to now, the police from Migori were there. However, the youth from Trans Mara could not be controlled because the police from their side were not there. It took us time to talk to Nyanza Provincial Commissioner who later consulted the Provincial Commissioner, Rift Valley, so that the police from the other side could come and assist to resolve the issue. Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, that actually shows that we need the police to be guided in the reforms so that they can know who the commander is in the police and to whom they should pay their loyalty. At the moment, they are not impartial and they are not carrying out the duty they are supposed to, when we go by their motto: âService to all Kenyansâ. They are paying their loyalty to certain quarters and ignoring other Kenyans. We all know that we were elected by Kenyans. This House has been blamed because we, as parliamentarians, may not have lived up to the expectations of the electorate. That is why they are becoming so wild against us. Kenyans elected us with an aim. The other time they sent some of us to Bomas of Kenya, we did not succeed in giving them a new Constitution. They have been waiting to see a new Constitution put in place. It is actually the new Constitution that this Tenth Parliament will count itself lucky, if we get it as early as possible. We expect the current Minister for Justice, National Cohesion and Constitutional Affairs to live to his word; that we shall get the Constitution by next year, August. It will not be late. What Kenyans want is a new Constitution."
