    "content": "reforming the Judiciary at all--- When you want to reform the Judiciary you come with a Bill like my learned senior has done or with a constitutional Bill, so that we can ensure that we, as Kenyans, have confidence in the structures established and the persons appointed. What was happening regarding the appointments that we were talking about--- You cannot have a thief appointing a judge and a prosecutor to preside over his trial. Where in the world does that happen? Where is the rest of the country involved? So, the Principals must go back to the drawing board. They are given power under this Constitution to exercise it according to it. Every time they make a decision that claim to power or exercise of authority must be derived from this Constitution. We want Kenya that will accommodate all of us. Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, we went to the same school with Eng. Ephraim Maina. However, looking at our politics, it appears like we went to different schools. We were in the same school during the day, but at night, we went to different schools. This is because I do not like his utterances and he does not like my utterances either. The driving force is not the values that are contained in the Constitution we just promulgated. I am saying this on a light note because we normally talk openly over the affairs of this country with the hon. Member as we should. I want to encourage that any time you are holding a public meeting or doing public service and you are doing it on the basis of regional or ethnic hegemony, you are violently destroying the country and this Constitution. With those remarks I beg to second."
