Judiciary is perfectly in order to declare legislation that comes from a House unconstitutional, and the legislation we pass here is not personal. It is a public process and document. Once it gets out of here, we have no business defending or protecting it. It is about the Judiciary to protect the people of Kenya.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I really want to plead with you to protect Sen. Kang‟ata. The more you give him time, the more you are harming him. I will not allow, as the Majority Leader in this House – and Sen. Kang‟ata serves under me – that it can be insinuated that President Kenyatta is trying to punish the Judiciary. 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.

What Sen. Kang‟ata is trying to say to the public is that the reason the Judiciary is being denied a budget, is because the President is unhappy with the decisions of the Judiciary regarding his mandate. I will not accept that, as a member of Jubilee. That cannot continue flying. It is not the position of President Uhuru Kenyatta, the Jubilee Government and the Senate. It is not one of the things that we should be propagating on the floor of this House. Therefore, the lesser this man speaks, the higher the likelihood that you will protect him from himself!

To that person in that gallery, he has done a very bad job, because there is no argument that can be made in that direction in so far as independence of institutions is concerned.

On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I had made a request to you that on behalf of the House and all the Senators, that I would like to appreciate everybody who came to vote, because the exercise is a democratic, right.
