    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would want to commend Nairobi City Council Clerk, Mr. John Gakuo for having done a wonderful job. If I had powers, I would have promoted him to be the Permanent Secretary for Local Government for the good work he has done. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have heard people talking about the issue of judges here and they have a phobia since they are panicking. The truth of the matter is that we fear that if we allow the Government side to increase the judges to 200 or whatever number, all those judges will come from one particular region. That is the fear of my colleagues and hon. N. Nyagah knows it. I will give one example. We all know where the Minister for Finance and the Assistant Minister for Finance come from. If I were to read out the names of those people who hold big positions within the financial sector alone, you will be shocked. Apart from the Assistant Minister for Finance, we have the Permanent Secretary, Mr. Joseph Kinyua, Economic Secretary, Mr. Kamau Thuge, Pensions Director, Mrs. Anne Mugo, Budgetary Director, D.P. Ngugi, External Resources Director, Mr. Kenneth Mwangi, Deputy Finance Secretary, Mwirichia. We also have the Governor of the Central Bank of Kenya (CBK)--- That guy is so clean. He is a very brilliant fellow, but the way he was appointed raises doubt. He was appointed from a club where they met with the Minister for Finance who endorsed him as the Governor of the CBK. He is Prof. Ndung'u. We were together. We also have the Deputy Governor, Mr. John Gikonyo, the Consolidated Bank of Kenya Chairman, Mr. Philip Njuki, Chief Executive Officer, Mr. David Wachira, Commissioner- General of the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA), Mr. Michael Waweru---"
