    "content": "I believe that through this Bill, we have an opportunity to put our country on the fast highway of modernization and civilization. We should take a clean break from the Kenya of 1963. We want to make laws that will be in consonant to the post-referendum Kenya that we want this country to move to. It is my hope that once we pass this Bill, it will give an opportunity to any Kenyan who appears before any judge in this country to feel that he or she is appearing before a patriotic judge who is neutral and impartial. They should not go there fearing that they are appearing before somebody else’s judge; whether that somebody else is the one you are competing with for justice, or is the President or the Prime Minister. It is for this reason that I want to support the Commission on the Implementation of the Constitution (CIC) and all hon. Members who believe that any aspect that can give an opportunity for anybody, be it the President or the Prime Minister, to create his or her own judge, must not be part of this law. I, therefore, propose, in support of those who have spoken before me that Clause 9(14) must not be allowed to be part of this law."
