    "content": "I do not want to go into the merits or demerits of how judges do their work, but as a layman, I am confused. How does one give a ruling on a matter even before the matter has gone for hearing? People are seeking an injunction and all of a sudden, a final declaration on the matter is made. This is exactly the same frustration that I heard the Director of the Kenya Anti-Corruption Commission, Dr. P.L.O. Lumumba, who we voted for overwhelmingly in this House and a very learned lawyer who I have had occasion to consult. This is the same frustration that he had about the selective misinterpretation of some of these laws when they suit some people, especially in the fight against corruption. You could see the frustration he was going through when he was told that he cannot do certain things because they are unconstitutional. These are the same people that we are now applauding here and saying that they can injunct Parliament not to do certain things when Mr. Speaker has pronounced himself very clearly that, as Parliament, we must go ahead and do what is required of us."
