    "content": "I was just thinking that there is a very thin line between what Hon. Sossion has presented in terms of prayers with that which is in court. Really, if the matter of the CBC is contentious and in court, the Committee of this House will find it very hard to navigate, which areas to leave out or include. I do not see why we should not let the Judiciary to first deal with this matter before it is brought here. I just want to caution and ask for your indulgence that this matter should not be here. I want to support what Hon. Otiende Amollo said and suggest that we do not commit this matter to the Committee, but allow the Judiciary to deal with it, so that we do not exercise legislative power in futility. Obviously, when the Committee starts sitting, there will be resources spent on this exercise and summoning of Government officials who will be leaving their offices to deal with this matter. By the end of the day, you will find that whatever is being canvassed cannot proceed. That is my prayer. Hon. Sossion is my friend and I know he is passionate about matters education. He has not been very happy with the CBC from day one. This is not something new and we must credit him. He has a belief which some of us, who are not experts in matters education, do not know and we need to give him credit for this. The matter before us is whether this issue is in court or not. If the issue he is canvassing is not in court, there is a very thin line. I do not understand how the prayers presented here can fail to find their way in court."
