Mr. Speaker, Sir, one thing that people do not know about me is that I am a woman of faith. I want to quote from the Bible today. The Bible says: âThat it is appointed for man to die once and after that, comes judgment.â The only thing I fear is Godâs judgment. I do not fear manâs action. So, I want to tell anybody who wants to threaten my life that the Bible says: It is appointed for man and - in this instance - a woman, to die once. It is appointed and, therefore, it is only God ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I wish you could indulge me because it is not every day that my life is in danger.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I will conclude in two minutes. In this House, Mr. Ndilinge said that his life was in danger but he was ignored. He was shot later and he died. Mrs. Odhiambo-Mabonaâs life has been threatened. I was attacked! I will not be quiet. If those who want to kill me, they will find me. I have told you that I am a woman of faith. It is appointed for me to die once and after that comes judgment. The only judgment I fear is Godâs judgment. Those who want to kill me, I live in ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, of late, the Government seems to use this issue of withdrawing security as a way of intimidating some of us. Could the Minister, please, clarify whether he knows or understands that if you decide to give security and withdraw it against certain people, then it is against Article 27(4) of the Constitution that says you shall not discriminate against another person on any grounds, including their beliefs, conscience or whatever ground? Could he also clarify whether the withdrawal of security is a precursor to attacking those hon. Members?

Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I beg to move:- THAT, Clause 2 be amended- (a) in the definition of the expression âjudge or magistrateâ, by inserting the words âjudges orâ immediately after the words âcapacity asâ. (b) by deleting the definition of the expression âjoint secretaryâ. (c) by inserting the following new definition in its proper alphabetical sequence- âsecretaryâ means the secretary of the Board appointed under Section 15â

Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I wish to oppose that amendment. The reason I would wish to oppose it is because we must be alive to our realities. We will vet our judges and we know that as much as we are patriotic Kenyans, other factors come into play. We want somebody who will be able to look, for instance, at a judgment that a judge has delivered in the past more objectively and from a more outside perspective as opposed to sometimes our âcolouredâ views from within Kenya. So, I therefore, oppose.
