    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to move that The Vetting of Judges and Magistrates Bill be now read a Second Time. Mr. Speaker, Sir, with your kind permission, allow me to draw your attention to Section 23 of the Sixth Schedule of the Constitution, which provides that this House do set up a mechanism and procedures for vetting the suitability of judges and magistrates who were in office on or before the 27th August 2010. With outmost respect, this was a demand by the people of Kenya. As a matter of fact, many of them were asking for the entire existing Bench to be sent home without question. However, we settled for this compromise of vetting. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the essence of vetting judges and magistrates is to restore public confidence in the Judiciary and provide a fresh start under the new Constitution. In the context of transitional justice, vetting is linked to the Stateâs duty to prevent the recurrence of human rights abuses, corruption as well as abuse of office. From this perspective, vetting can be a significant pillar of institutional reform. In fact, I am willing to say that it will be a significant pillar of institutional reform. To this end, The Vetting of Judges and Magistrates Bill (2011) seeks to provide the legal framework through which the integrity of the concerned judicial officers with regard to their suitability to continue in public office will be assessed. I want to reassure the country, including the Judiciary, that this is not intended to be a witch-hunt nor is it intended to be punishment; nor is it intended to be some sort of whitewash, for that matter. We will not accept whitewash, but we will not engage in a witch-hunt."
