    "content": "insulating the County Assemblies which as per now are not insulated against any court process. If the County Assemblies are debating a matter before them as per today, somebody can rush to court to stop them and they will not be able to transact business? We know that in both the County Assemblies and Parliaments is where the supremacy of the people lies because they have the mandate of the people. Everybody who is chosen here after five years will be subjected by the people to whether they were able to deliver or became rogue. So, this is a timely constitutional amendment that is trying to clean up the issues that we are talking about; the 20 per cent. When you look at the issues on matters falling within Parliament, as we speak today, the Committee on Health was discussing the issue about admissions of students by Kenya Medical Training College (KMTC). Kenya university colleges have gone to court to stop that process. What happens to these students now? We have heard cases of recruitment of the police which went to the courts and those Kenyans were later on not taken because somebody rushed to court. So, these are issues that we must be able to address as leaders and try to come up with solutions because it does not mean that our Judiciary is perfect. The other day, the Chief Justice talked of corruption within the Judiciary which is live as per now. How are we able to control that? This is because an individual can corrupt Judiciary and stop a process that is ongoing within Parliament. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I think this is very timely and we should all support it. I hope that we will raise the two-thirds majority to effect this important constitutional amendment. With those few remarks, I want to support."
