    "content": "judge who feels that, maybe, the line of questioning should be private. There will be a procedure for private matters. Indeed, the Judicial Service Commission will regulate its own procedures. Kenyans will know that judges are going to be chosen and then they are told: “By the way, this is now your judge”. How did you arrive at him and what did you ask him? Since the Judicial Service Commission is going to be at the same level as Parliament and the Executive, the interviews must be in the open. So, I will be proposing an amendment to this issue. Still on the interviews and I said this yesterday, I will request that we also delete Clause 13(e) that talks about the temperament. It states that one of the things that they should consider is the temperament and the elements of which shall include demonstrable possession of compassion, humility, history of courtesy and civility. When you are dealing with thugs, you need a hard judge. You do not need a person who is compassionate and human. Then all these people will be walking free. We do not need this kind of thing. How do you judge some of these criteria? None of the people in the Judicial Service Commission is a Psychologist; none of them is a medical doctor. So, how do we judge things like that? If the qualifications and all the other criteria are good, then it is fine, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I support with amendments."
