    "content": "Hon. Speaker, I want to add my comments on the issue of separation of powers. I am a strong supporter of that doctrine and concept. Looking at the Judiciary during the KANU days, there was every reason for everyone to fight for that separation. The Judiciary is becoming the dictator in this country. It is emasculating the authority and the constitutional mandate of the Executive. It is actually tying the hands of the two Houses of the Legislature. In my opinion, when we decided to give jobs to people based on qualifications of activism, that is where we went wrong. Some characters came who had no record of serving the public even in the private sector or the legal fraternity. We did not know them. We saw them in the streets fighting with briefcase NGOs.
