    "content": "the Committee is because with a toothcomb, the Committee is able to go through the Bill and come up with amendments or form an opinion on the Bill, do a report which is always tabled here so that it guides the Members who have not had an opportunity to interrogate the Bill properly to contribute and understand the Bill more. In the absence of a report tabled before this House by the Committee, I feel that it is quite unfair for us to be rushed to pass the Bill yet we know the kind of problems that we have gone through as a country because of hurried Bills. If we have to pass the Bill because we were commanded to do so in the President’s Address, it will be wrong because Parliament is not under the direction of the President. We have a statutory duty to represent the country well and make sure that proper legislation is passed for the good and benefit of the majority of Kenyans."
