    "content": "Within our constitutional principle, the roles of both Parliament and the High Court are very clearly separated for very obvious reasons. It is that both are creatures of the Constitution and they have independent roles to play. Obviously, it is upon each of these institutions to safeguard their own independence. To this extent, if one of the institutions is encroaching onto the territory or turf of the other, the other institution has a retaliatory right to assert its own independence. The High Court is exposing itself to the problem where Kenyans can run from institutions asserting their own independence and then they can defy the High Court. This is actually one of the problems the High Court is bringing itself to. It is issuing orders that are not going to be obeyed and in the process ridiculing the process of respect for the law in this--- (technical hitch) It is allowing itself to be misused and this is very dangerous. It is a threat to the rule of law and the new constitutional dispensation."
