    "content": " Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I sincerely would like to suggest to my very good friend; the hon. Member as well as my learned friend, to look very carefully at the Constitution and the composition of the Judicial Service Commission. If you pass this amendment, it would mean that, then you are in fact removing the description of these people coming from the Law Society of Kenya, because they are required to be advocates. Under the Advocates Act, advocates are sworn in by the Chief Justice to practice law, including appearing before judges. Therefore, I also want to point out, with utmost humility that appointment of judges and the functions of the Judicial Service Commission will be occurring from time to time. It is not the sort of thing that would intimidate magistrates and judges before whom a member of the Judicial Service Commission is appearing. I oppose."
