    "content": "The Judicial Service Commission that I know of, until the other day when we added some very young energetic people, was all appointees of the President. The Chief Justice was an appointee of the President through an announcement at 1.00 p.m., news. There were two judges whom the Chief Justice himself appointed from among the judges, which judges were also appointed at 1.00 p.m. So, all the three were appointees of the same President. And then there was the Attorney-General who was also appointed at 1.00 p.m. Then, of course, there is the Head of Public Service Commission who was also appointed at 1.00 p.m. So, if all these people were appointed by the President and the he wanted Otieno Kajwang to be a judge, how can they refuse? How can they even advise him? He is the one to tell them what he wants. This is the culture from which the Constitution is removing us. I think that is what the Judicial Service Commission Bill is expanding so that we know how to appoint people in offices and how the courts will be managed. That is why I think it would have been very un-advisable, if I was a lawyer of the Orange Democratic Party the other year, to advise them to go to court if you look at what I have just said that all of them are appointees of the President."
