    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am surprised that suddenly, we are now talking about judges on a pedestal. We are talking about how the courts are good. We are the same ones who have been saying that we do not trust the judges. We got into this quagmire because we said that we cannot trust the Judiciary to make any decision, but because it seems to be making decisions in a certain favourable way, all of a sudden, it is our darling. The good thing is that, at least, we know that this Parliament represents the fullness of Kenya, through the 210 constituencies plus the Nominated Members. Nobody has doubted the ability of this Parliament to do its work. If it was not for this, we would be discussing The Vetting of Judges and Magistrates Bill. Why do we need to vet them? It is exactly because we do not have any confidence in them. When they make a ruling that we seem to be happy with, we now want the Judiciary to prevail upon Parliament not to do what it has been elected to do."
