    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, my view is not contrary because I wanted to be clear. My view and that of many Kenyans has been that this particular activity has gone on for a bit too long. There are too many judges and magistrates who have been victimized through this process and to give these people an open ended cheque - in fact to say that they will continue as long as the cases are not finalized – is not good. In our wisdom when we formed this body, we thought time was sufficient. This is not the first time we are giving them an extension. I am of the view that they need to work and work overtime. They need to generally go home and let judicial processes as we know them and as envisaged in the Constitution to go on. As for this open ended cheque, I think it is causing anxiety to too many Kenyans and costing this country too much money."
