    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. People may wonder why, as the Chair, I have to contribute. I did not move the Bill. The Bill was very well-moved by my Vice-Chair. I tabled the Joint Report earlier this afternoon. Perhaps, as many Members as possible should acquaint themselves with the harmonised Report. This harmonised Report is a unanimous effort by both Committees, namely, the Kioni Committee and the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs. Both of them met through a sub- committee and both committees then approved the harmonised draft. For the sake of clarity, very eminent Members of both committees considered the Report. I have the list somewhere. Give me a minute. I will read out the names because this may allay some of the fears that my colleagues may have on the propriety of the Report that was tabled. The eminent persons consisted of my fellow Chairman of the Constitutional Implementation Oversight Committee, Hon. Kioni; my Vice-Chair, Mheshimiwa (Dr.) Otiende Amollo; Hon. Kaluma, Hon. Jennifer Shamalla, Hon. Olago Aluoch, Hon. Anthony Oluoch, Hon. Zuleikha Hassan, Hon. Japheth Mutai, Hon. Tom Kajwang’, Hon. Christine Ombaka and Hon. Yusuf Hassan. These are eminent Members of this House and Committees. One may say that one Committee might have been preferred over the other. If you look at the Sixth Schedule of the Constitution which constitutes Hon. Kioni’s Committee and the Sixth Schedule of the Standing Orders, you will find that the jurisdictions of both Committees overlap just like many other Committees. However, the most important thing is that we are not arguing or fighting, only that the Speaker made a ruling that my Committee should pilot, and in the course of piloting then we harmonise both reports."
