    "content": "Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, lawyers have talked of great quotes. But none of them seem to be coming from our Judiciary. I want at this moment, for us to reflect on one, Sir Good Marshall, who came here to defend our freedom fighters and rose to become one of the Justice in the Supreme Court of America. In the same American Supreme Court in 1954, there was a case on whether discrimination against schools on the basis of colour is important or not. The Supreme Court of America made a ruling, which is being played out in a very good movie known as “Separate but Equal”. The ruling then was that you cannot separate and still expect to operate on the basis of equality. It is those kinds of high standards that we expect judges of our Supreme Court to have. They should rise to the occasion and look at the injustices of the minorities and marginalized people in this country; to look at the situation as we speak; everyday some areas are chronically affected by insecurity. There is insecurity of cattle rustling and food insecurity. We would expect that when I will appear before the Supreme Court when it comes, I hope I do not have to go that way, that Section 43 of our Constitution, on social and economic rights, for those marginalized groups, we will be assured the rights to food, education, housing and health."
