    "content": "Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, again, when I looked at the Judges that have been shortlisted, some of the philosopher Judges, and we know them because we have looked at their rulings and decisions--- There is someone like Aaron Ringera. I think it is a pity that he was not shortlisted among the Supreme Court Judges. Those who have had a chance to look at his decisions, they are philosophical and full of Shakespearean language. He used to make a lot of important judicial propositions. Again, he is not afraid even to use the law to serve his purpose. So, I do not know how they went about shortlisting some of those Judges, because we know them. As lawyers, we know the Judges who can make good judgments and those who can make very dry judgments. We also know Judges who even make a one page judgement on an important issue, which is not possible. Therefore, my hope is that when it comes to the shortlisting and nominations, they will actually come up with Judges that will make historical rulings. I look forward to the day when we will have Judges who make rulings like Lord Denning. Even today, law students are still learning about the rulings of Lord Denning and he did that more than 100 years ago. Those are the kind of Judges we need in the Supreme Court."
