    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, judicial reforms are very important pillars of the constitutional changes that we are making in this country in order to restore public confidence in the administration of justice. Already, the hon. Chief Justice and the Judicial Service Commission have made very wide ranging changes in the manner in which the Judiciary is organized and operates. We must support that initiative as Parliament, because it is not only important to have quality judges, as the hon. Chief Justice is trying to do, but it is also important that we should have the requisite number of judges. As we devolve towards the counties - and the county government is an important pillar of our evolving democracy - we must provide sufficient judicial capacity and expertise. The ongoing recruitment in the Judiciary--- I am happy to confirm to this House that only starting next week and for the next three weeks, the Judicial Service Commission will be recruiting new judges for the Environmental Court and Industrial Court, in particular. Thereafter, there will be recruitment for the ordinary High Court."
