"content": "I will propose an amendment to the Judicial Service Act so that as long as you sit in the JSC, you are barred for the time that you sit in the JSC from representing clients in any court in Kenya. There is evidence of interference that was tendered before us. The JSC is the employer of judges and advocates in Kenya. Is it not a contradiction that you should appear before your employee to seek judgement. Look at what is happening at City Hall now; magistrates are being asked to look at improper expenditure at City Hall. One of the people who are understandably involved in those irregular procurements is a member of JSC. That report is supposed to come to him. How are those poor magistrates supposed to give an objective judgement when they are faced with an employer who will determine their career growth and whether they will be promoted or not?"
