    "content": "Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, the Judicature (Amendment) Bill has the object of amending the Judicature Act, Cap.8 of the Laws of Kenya in order to increase the number of Court of Appeal judges currently standing at 14 up to 30. Article 164 of the Constitution of Kenya states that the Court of Appeal shall consist of the number of judges, not fewer than 12. To increase the number of High Court judges and we increase the Court of Appeal ones up to 30, we need that amendment. Secondly, to increase the number of High Court judges up to 150, Article 165 provides that the High Court shall consist of the number of judges to be prescribed by an Act of Parliament."
