    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to support this Bill whole heartedly in view of what we have seen in Kenya. Those of us who have been lucky, like me, to enjoy the services of one of the senior most counsel in this Republic, who happens to be the Minister here, know that I should not be standing here had it not been a quest to look for justice. I was listening to a very serious documentary from the Arab world, and they were talking about world peace. They were saying that it is so easy for everyone to see. It is not about armament. It is not about Arabs, Africa or Europeans. It is about justice; to have peace you need justice. Justice can only be done if the arbitrator, or judge, sees things through the due process. As long as judges, magistrates and everybody else remain controlled, no matter how remotely, by ethnic or commercial values and other parameters well known to most hon. Members, we cannot have peace. There is no need pretending that we will have a system of justice where all animals are equal but some are more equal than others. If we are going to define equality, let it be that way; that a poor peasant or a son of a peasant like me who rises up should not be judged by the qualifications of the grandfather or the grandmother for that matter, but by his own qualifications and acumen. People who commit felonies and other forms of crime should be treated the same."
