    "content": "Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, my fourth point is on the Judiciary. The Judiciary requires urgent and immediate reforms. We all know and appreciate the importance of an effective and independent Judiciary. We need more resources to be allocated to the Judiciary. I do not understand why the Treasury denied the Judiciary the amount that it had requested for. The Constitution is very clear. It says that the Judiciary and Parliament shall prepare their estimates independent of the Executive. Therefore, if the Judiciary requires Kshs17.9 billion to be able to deliver justice, introduce reforms and conform to the requirements of the new Constitution and what Kenyans expect, we can only give them that. The Judiciary is only answerable to this Parliament. Therefore, I support my Committee’s Report that we increase the allocation to the Judiciary from Kshs9.8 billion to, at least, Kshs16.4 billion that has been proposed."
