    "content": "Vetting Board, then you cannot be picked by the President to serve as a judge. They wanted to delete that clause so that they can be appointed as judges in future upon serving the Board. I accept that the Committee did not bring that amendment. Regarding the amendment that has been brought to the Floor, I think it is right for us to support it. It is very clear. As it has been said, it has no financial implication. All Bills with financial implications require going through a certain process, unlike this one that does not have any. What was raised as to this amendment is that the additional three months will not ask the taxpayers to provide for the extra money for documentation and presentation of what they have been doing. As CIOC, we wanted to look into the JSC. The members of the Judicial Service Commission go to represent a person who is charged by the Board. Hon. Jakoyo has mentioned one of the lawyers. There is a conflict of interest. That is why we were saying that it is important for Parliament to start seeing whether we can have a complaints committee where people can take their complaints. If we leave the JSC to handle the complaints on judicial system, then we are going to be bound by conflict of interest. Some of its members can act on behalf of people who have been mentioned. Some of the lawyers who are JSC commissioners can also serve in the same courtrooms."
