    "content": "The Supreme Court, in which Philomena will sit, is composed of seven wise men and women. I will be happy if this House agrees with me that all the communities, ethnic and religious diversity of our country is represented there. Those of us who live in the eastern part of Kenya like my friend, the Leader of the Minority Party, are represented. The pastoralists must be represented by Lenaola and the Muslims by Judge Mohammed Ibrahim. My friends from the Lake and Western regions must be represented by Smokin Wanjala and Dr. Ojwang’. This is the Kenya we want to build. Our great and able lady Justice Njoki Ndung’u will look after the Mt. Kenya region and, of course, Lenaola will also cover the whole of the Rift Valley. This is where we want Kenya to be. We want Justice Philomena to be counted as a Deputy Chief Justice who will respect the independence of Parliament. We do not want to have a situation where when people come with whistles, the Standing Orders deal with them and they are sent out for four months, they go to a judge and sneak through the backdoor. Philomena, I hope you are watching me. Last week, the Speaker and I attended the swearing in of the Chief Justice and he told me that he was watching me with a pen and paper. I hope Lady Justice Philomena is watching this House with a pen and paper and what every Member says, she notes it down and will implement it."
