"content": "I want to support the Leader of the Majority Party and plead with you that you defer any proceedings on this particular Motion as you get a more reasoned ruling on this matter. In the past, a Report of this House made a recommendation that the courts differed with. I remember when I was sitting in the Public Accounts Committee, we recommended that the Ethics and Anti- Corruption Commission (EACC) shall investigate the Senator for Elgeyo Marakwet and his law firm on the issue of National Youth Service (NYS). The wording of that recommendation, which appeared like we are ordering an independent organ to investigate, made that case not to proceed despite the merits that were in the matters that the Committee had recommended and the House canvassed. Again, it will be untidy for us to defeat a Report of a Committee of this House by either the Majority or the Minority parties mobilising to defeat or approve it. The best way is to halt this Motion as we consult further, so that if it unprocedurally found its way to the House, it is dealt with. So, I am supporting the Leader of the Majority Party, Hon. Kimunya, in asking you to step down this Motion as we consult further. In my capacity as the Leader of the Minority Party, I have received new information. They are facts that were not disclosed earlier when the matter was canvassed. Thank you."
