    "content": "We represent the people. The litigants who go court, those who are in jail, we are their Members of Parliament. Lawyers who go to court like Ahmednassir, I am his Member of Parliament and even judges including Philomena. I am sure she comes from a constituency in Makueni County, but I am not sure whether it is Hon. Maanzo’s constituency. I understand it is Hon. Makenga’s constituency. We want Judges Philomena and Chief Justice Maraga to reclaim back the Judiciary from activism. The Judiciary we passed under the new Constitution led by my very good friend, Hon. Willy Mutunga, to some extent, got lost. We want the Judiciary to be returned back to its place in the Constitution. One of the reasons I want to support Philomena is that she really believes in the African culture and she said it. In fact, she spoke for the Muslims on polygamy that people must marry four wives. I have one, but I have a strategic plan of marrying the other three in the next five years. Philomena spoke on behalf of the African men and Muslims. The only place where she slipped a bit was about guys of the same sex who want to do some funny business in our country. I want to go on record that I will not live in Kenya where people of the same sex will get married. I am not afraid. She never supported them, but she said that they are in existence. Today, this House must come out very clearly. Those of you who are good Christians and Muslims know what the Bible and the Quran say about human beings who would want to defile the concept of creation. God created a man and a woman for a purpose. It is like night and day. You cannot overturn creation and the purpose of the Almighty God. Philomena must instill that in her leadership to the other judges that if they believe in something, they are there to serve the people of Kenya. Secondly, I want to request my colleagues to build a Kenya in which all of us will live in happily. Let this House rise above ethnic politics, that when someone from your community is being vetted, you appear in the Committee. Philomena Mwilu is not going to serve the Kamba community. She is ours. She is a Kenyan and not from Eastern Province. She was only born in Makueni one day, just the way I was born in Garissa and she is a Kenyan. We must support her The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor"
