    "content": "On a point of order, Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I believe I am entitled to say something in response, particularly to what the Minister has said. Looking at the arguments that the Minister has advanced, it is not true that all the Bangalore Principles must be codified. In fact, it is not true that the entire Judicial Code of Conduct is codified in law. This is a dangerous provision we are putting in this law. The example he used is also a wrong one. What happens on things which happen outside the courtroom, for instance, when a matatu blocks a judge’s car and the judge loses his temper? It does not mean that he is not a good judge. Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, it must also be known that with respect to the issues raised by hon. Ojaamong, there are other standards contained in this Bill, which say that if any person has pending complaints before the Law Society of Kenya, for instance, when a lawyer had complained that he had been mistreated; if one has a case pending before the Kenya Anti-Corruption Commission or before the Advocates Complaints Commission, one would be disqualified. These are standards where you can see that somebody wants to be a judge, but there is a complaint against him. Such a person does not deserve to be a judge. However, when we consider subjective issues like how one looks in terms of whether one is humble or not, we will be including a dangerous provision, and it should go. With those remarks, I beg to stand by the amendment."
