"content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to take this opportunity to very strongly support the three nominations. As hon. Murungi said, I personally know Dr. Willy Mutunga. He taught me Commercial Law. I know that this country will have, in Chief Justice Willy Mutunga, the very best amongst others who are equally good. Therefore, along with the Deputy Chief Justice and the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP), I know that the countryâs image, because we still have got a lot of business--- We still have to think of the good of our country. You can imagine that this country has been without a Chief Justice since 28th February. We have to thank God for his mercies, because who knows what could have happened. Therefore, I think it is good that we act speedily and be able to appreciate that for the first time since we actually attained Independence from Britain, this level of conversation where hon. Members are exercising--- I think I want to agree with my learned friend, hon. Orengo, that the sovereignty vests in the people, but this sovereignty is exercised through the elected representatives of the people. Therefore, I think this House has taken the destiny of this country seriously. I think this is the way to go. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we will listen to the civil society and everybody because those are also Kenyans. But, at the end of the day, we have to act responsibly"
