"content": "you are in government, you will not appoint that kind of judge. If you are a republican and believe very strongly in family values, like I do, you will not appoint a judge who believes in abortion. If that is happening in advanced societies like America, why did we not take that into account when we were appointing the Chief Justice and the Deputy Chief Justice? We should have interrogated these people to know their political leanings and history when it comes to determining matters. I foresee a situation where they are going to act like the civil society, going forward. They will arrogate themselves powers even to legislate. We know of judges who legislate from the bench. They start taking away powers that are bestowed by the Constitution on the Senate and National assembly. I, therefore, urge Members to be circumspect on appointments. Mr. Speaker, Sir, may I end by thanking you for the good job you have done today. I think this is your maiden appearance here, sitting substantively. On behalf of the people of Murang’a County, who you once served as a District Commissioner (DC) when I was a councillor, we want to congratulate you. We feel like you are one of our own."
