    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. In fact, I will not take more than two more minutes. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I was saying that just yesterday, when the Chief Justice was swearing-in the new members of the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission, he stated the following - and this is a very solemn declaration on the part of the Chief Justice of the Republic of Kenya. This is a document which I have tabled from the Judiciary and I had alerted Mr. Speaker regarding my tabling it. This is what he says:- “I offer the guarantee of the Judiciary that when it comes to the protection and upholding of the Constitution, we shall play our part without fear or favour. It is a commitment I give the country. Kenyans did not fight and vote for a new Constitution so that it can become a political toy. They did so because, in all its provisions and articles, they so codified their aspirations and struggles of a people. Therefore, all institutions and individuals, either in the interpretation, implementation or application of the Constitution, must not seek to defer or defeat this dream.” He concluded by saying this:- “I know there are matters before the court on the determination of the election date. The Supreme Court and the Constitution and Human Rights Division of the High Court will soon be making determination on these matters.” So, we heard it on the authority of the Chief Justice of the Republic of Kenya, himself!"
