    "content": "other Arid Lands stated that they do not even have courts. Indeed, this is in line with the Constitution. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this Bill seeks to operationalize the above desire. It further proposes to entrench the constitutional principles set out in Chapter 10 of the Constitution. In addition, the Bill seeks to entrench the principles that have been internationally recognized in the Bangalore Principles of Judicial Conduct. I am quite proud and happy this afternoon to table the commentary on the Bangalore Principles of Judicial Conduct of September 2007. Luckily, those principles, unknown to the country have in fact, been informed by the principles already recognized by our own countries including Kenya. When you look at that particular document you will find that the Kenyan Code published in 1999 has been expressly recognized in part “H” of this particular document. The position of these Bangalore Principles is recognition that the global world is a small world, and therefore, anyone should respect the principles of the management of the Judiciary. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, on the Bill that I am tabling this afternoon, I speak with confidence because we have consulted the Attorney-General and the Commission on Implementation of the Constitution. I have consulted as widely as one person can do so. Again allow me to table the advisory that the Commission on Implementation of the Constitution has issued, and you will find the comments are acceptable to the Ministry as they are formulated. So, therefore the Bill, among other things outlines clear objects and principles for the Judicial Service Commission and the Judiciary. You will find that in Clause 3. It is significant of an independent Judicial Service Commission. You will find that in Clause 3(a). With the functions of recommending to the President persons for appointment of judges, reviewing and making recommendations on terms and conditions of service for judges, magistrates and other judicial officers, appointments and discipline, as well as removal of registrars, this is in line with Article 172(1) (c) of the Constitution."
