    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I want to make my point especially in these times when our speeches are dissected under a microscope; one needs to be specific. I am driving this point in saying that the three arms of Government; the Judiciary, the Executive and the Legislature must not be held in the hands of a single community at any one time. It is our hope and desire, as patriotic Kenyans who want inclusivity, that the next Chief Justice must not be drawn--- Kenyans are now fully educated, including the Kuria and Turkana people, where the Chair and the substantive Speaker comes from. We would like a situation whereby we are spared the pain and monotony of that again. However, because people enjoy extended powers in this country, you will find that through whatever processes, again, the Chief Justice will be skewed towards two communities that are currently dominating appointments in public service. That is the point I am driving. I feel that under the Constitution of Kenya all of us - especially in this Senate - must stand up and be counted. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, with those few remarks, I support the speech."
