    "content": "Hon. Speaker, I do not want to be lengthy in the manner in which I am presenting this matter. I totally support the Leader of Majority Party and we respect you, hon. Speaker, as you have continued to guide this House in a very reasonable and fair way. We expect the Chief Justice to do the same thing. We are very supportive of the Judiciary and that is why my Committee gave them one Kshs1 billion extra against even the wishes of the National Treasury last year. Surely, if we were against the Judiciary, we would not have given them additional funding. According to hon. Angwenyi here, he says it was a mistake. I do not think so. This Committee does not act on mistakes. The problem that we have is that the judges have gone rogue. This is according to the words of the Chief Justice himself. When addressing the Judiciary he said, “These members of mine, whose majority are members of the bench are rogue”. This was judgment by consent and you know that it is very difficult to amend judgment by consent and even to review. So, we have accepted that whatever the Chief Justice said is that these judges are rogue and that is why they are issuing orders that violate the Constitution and the rights of others."
