"content": "Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. The reason why this vetting is taking too long is because it is on television. Because it is on TV, individuals are grilled even on matters they have not been in any way accused. Hon. Chepkong’a said that there are foreign judges on the Vetting Board. As long as we have those judges, as a House, we need to be reassured that it will also not occasion delay in future action of the Board. It is very important. One of the reasons why we have this Board vetting Judges, Principal Magistrates and Chief Magistrates is because of lack of appraisal reports within the judicial system on individuals. I do not see the need for individuals to be vetted if there is a continuous assessment of their performance and if there are misdemeanours within their areas of jurisdiction. As a result of this backlog, there are cases of delayed delivery of justice to Kenyans. The Bill has suggested that the deadline that had been set initially be removed. We hope that what the Bill expects to deliver will be achieved. I beg to support."
