    "content": "the best reports in this country. My Committee did, Hon. Speaker. You know we are committed. When you direct us, we do a proper job. We did. Procedure was followed. Let me also share with the House and with you Hon. Speaker what I heard yesterday. These issues were simmering around and some members of my Committee came to my office. Some of them were threatened not to sign. Some of them were threatened not to sign this Report. About four Members have not signed this Report and if you look at those four members, you can almost demographically know. I want to say this Hon. Speaker: This is dangerous for the country. I asked one of the Members: \"Why would you not sign the report?\" He told me: \"I was told even this Report will not see the light of the day. It is going to be returned back”. So, Hon. Chair, I am not going to sign because inarudishwa anyway.\" Therefore, Hon. Speaker, I am shocked this afternoon when I see the direction which Members are taking. Hon. Speaker, you know what I do? If you return the Report to my Committee, I will do a diligent job. I am ready. I am a performer. Being a cattle keeper, I keep the cows properly. I will follow even the smallest feet. I will proceed and prosecute the matter. I have no problem with you returning the Report. However, I only fear should we go this direction, then we are not going to do any other report in future. Why? This is because somebody will stand and say: \"There was no public participation! I was not informed.” And then you return the report. So, when you return the report, what will happen? Will it now mean that I take all the views from the person who refused himself to come or what happens? You know I will also be confused. I say what happens. This Report is a report and not a Bill. Members, even if they might have done whatever they did, it is because they represent people. Hon. Speaker, they can produce those items in the Second Reading when we are debating this Report. After that, we can go to the Committee of the Whole House where they can submit other reports. Whatever the Hon. Member of my Committee is trying to induce that this Report was not there... It came in the last eight months when we were doing the inquiry. That Report came and it is on record. It is Parliament. So, as I conclude, I plead with you Hon. Speaker that you allow the process to proceed. That is because there is a danger if we allow the Law Society of Kenya peke yake . Only LSK out of about 30 people, then there is a problem. Moreover, I have also seen in reports when we are doing amendments."
