    "content": " Hon. Speaker, thank you for giving me the opportunity to add my voice to support this Report of the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs. As we proceed to debate this particular Report, we should make it clear not only to those in the House but also Kenyans at large that this Parliament is acting pursuant to Article 251 of the Constitution. It says that a member of a commission (other than an ex officio member) or the holder of an independent office, may be removed from office only for some reasons which are set out. You can see that these particular petitions that came before the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs met that threshold. Hon. Speaker, it is important that we know that the job of the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs was to establish a prima facie case that warrants further interrogation by a tribunal. They were not supposed to go into too many details. The rest of the details will be interrogated before a tribunal. As Kenyans, we look forward to that tribunal and hope that it will have an opportunity to investigate this matter because it is important for us to know exactly what happened on 15th August and the days preceding it."
