"content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I thank you very much. I rise to support the Report for the reason that we have a body which is partially complete. The Judges and Magistrates Vetting Board (JMVB) cannot be complete without these eminent foreign persons. I also want to thank their countries for letting them come and help us clean our judiciary. Having said so, let me add that the Board is not achieving what it was intended for. It has acted like a body that is used by some crooks in town to victimise judges and magistrates. Many good Kenyans have lost their jobs because of some purported non- performance. One of the judges was dismissed because he would take so long to read a judgement. Another one was dismissed because he disagreed with some lawyers in Kitale. Lady Justice Ang’awa comes from my constituency. She was the strictest person in the Judiciary. You could not corrupt her."
