    "content": "Hon. Colleagues, you will recall that sometime back, there was a bit of exchange between Parliament and the Judiciary regarding whether or not active Judges who were serving or who had been appointed to serve in the Judicial Service Commission (JSC) required to be vetted as Commissioners of the JSC like the other Members of that JSC who were not Judges. I remember my Senior, Chief Justice (Rtd.) Willy Mutunga, firmly, unequivocally and unapologetically defended those Judges. In fact, they ended up being Members of that Commission without being vetted by the House. While I recommend the Judiciary when they want to defend their tough jurisdiction, I also call upon the Judiciary to respect the turf of Parliament. We need one another, and we will not want an institutional confrontation that is unnecessary, which can derail public service delivery. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
