Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, again, when I looked at the Judges that have been shortlisted, some of the philosopher Judges, and we know them because we have looked at their rulings and decisions--- There is someone like Aaron Ringera. I think it is a pity that he was not shortlisted among the Supreme Court Judges. Those who have had a chance to look at his decisions, they are philosophical and full of Shakespearean language. He used to make a lot of important judicial propositions. Again, he is not afraid even to use the law to serve his purpose. So, I ...

Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, secondly, Judges of the Supreme Court, like Caesarâs wife, must be above suspicion. They should not have any shade of contradictory character. Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I am glad to see that the Supreme Court is actually forced to sit in one sitting. At the moment, the Court of Appeal has about three circuits. Therefore, you will find one circuit of the Court of Appeal, say, in Kisumu, another one in Mombasa and another one in Nairobi, giving contradictory judgements. I am glad that here, the Supreme Court must sit as a whole, so that they ...

Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, lastly, it is important that as it proceeds on its work, we give this Supreme Court authority and facilities. We need to come up with a nice, good and beautiful building where we can house them; a building that even 200 years from now will be a remarkable building. As the Ministry of Nairobi Metropolitan Development, we have just finalized our spatial plan where we have what we are calling a judicial city, a city where we can house all the Supreme Court chambers, the High Court and even magistrates. The theme of that city will ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, we are shocked that in this era of transparency and accountability this is happening. How does NARC(K) come in, in this matter? This is simply Kirinyanga politics! The only crime that James Kangara has committed is being in PNU. This information is with the IIEC. We do not understand how this has happened. It is a shock to us. Even more, we are told that six more nominations are going to be revoked by NARC(K) and yet, they were all elected on a PNU ticket. So, we do not know what is happening. This thing is more ...
