"content": "be a neutral arbiter in a matter that is of public concern, they have opted to be a player. Even the stalemate that we have on the two-third gender rule came about because the Judiciary opted to be a player in a matter where they ought to be a neutral arbiter. The same applies to the Division of Revenue Bill. It is very disheartening because this is the Supreme organ for judicial functions in our country. However, when we see it dispensing their decisions with a lot of activism, then that is a cause for concern. So, even as we discuss this matter and identify areas from which to get the extra money to allocate the counties, it is important that we have to look at the provisions that we already have in our Constitution, so that we genuinely and candidly make a decision as to what we would want to do with some of these institutions which, instead of helping us to move our country forward, become a stumbling block. I hope that we will reach a consensus and move our country forward. With those few remarks, I beg to support."
