    "content": "I beg to move that the Motion be further amended as follows:- By inserting the following words immediately after the words “Tuesday, 7th July, 2015”- “Subject to the deletion of recommendation number 19 on page 139 of the report, and substitution thereof with the following:- “The security upgrades implemented by Mr. Simiyu Werunga, a security consultant and contractor, should be subjected to detailed audit by an independent Security Consultant, working jointly with relevant departments of the Government, and any sums paid over and above fair market value be claimed from the consultant/contractor.” Essentially, this is deleting a recommendation by the Committee that asks the Chief Registrar of the Judiciary to charge the beneficiaries of this project to pay for the cost of those security upgrades. It is the JSC’s decision to give the Supreme Court judges extra security. So, if the procurement is wrong, the fault is upon the JSC and not the beneficiaries. Secondly, the Committee says these security upgrades are in private residences and yet the Judiciary does not provide residences for the judges. So, where does the Committee expect those security instruments to be put rather than in the private residences of the judges? This is tantamount to, for example, if the procurement department of Parliament procures irregularly the water that we drink here then we are told that although you are entitled to drinking water while you are in the Chambers, you are going to be surcharged for the same if it was procured wrongly. Based on those reasons, I beg to move the amendment. I ask Hon. David Ochieng to second."
