    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me an opportunity to support this Bill and thank the Minister for the work that he has done. I would like to echo the sentiments of many that this is also yet another milestone in our country and in the implementation of our Constitution. I think it sends a clear signal to Kenyans that Parliament is keen on implementing the Constitution. A supreme court is important because it will help us resolve issues that arise out of the Constitution. They are about to be many. With the Supreme Court, we have the assurance that we will be able to get the spirit of the Constitution in place. As we continue to appoint or nominate those who will serve in the Supreme Court, it is important that we look at the diversity of this nation. I feel that it is important that we avoid packing the Supreme Court with activists. The Supreme Court is not a place for activism. We need people who are sober; people who can look at the interests of this nation. We want people who can resist the influence, especially from the western world. With those few remarks, I wish to support and thank the Minister for the job that he is doing."
