    "content": "Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, all of us will agree that the main reasons why Kenyans wanted reforms and a new Constitution was to have the Judiciary reformed. Kenyans felt disappointed from the lowest to the highest of the society. Many of us have heard complaints about cases they have in court, which are determined in a way that does not please the society. This kind of a problem in the Judiciary climaxed when immediately after elections, a section of the society which felt aggrieved could not go to court. That is how bad the Judiciary had become in the eyes of the people of Kenya. Therefore, it became apparent and very necessary that we reform the Judiciary. The cornerstone and heart of the Constitution that we have today are the judicial reforms. Therefore, attempts to reform the Judiciary are a constitutional requirement and are very timely. However, as we move along this path, we have to be very careful. I urge this House to look at this Bill with a lot of interest. We need to take care, so that we do not give Kenyans poison instead what they have been yearning for."
