    "content": "a wonderful job; he has done a job that is without comparison and I want to thank and appreciate them. I get very surprised because these Commissioners were appointed pursuant to Article 250 of the Constitution. They sit in office pursuant to Article 250 of the Constitution. Article 251 of the Constitution is invoked by Kenyans as required by the Constitution. Article 3 of the Constitution, because they sent lawyers, we are also going to be lawyers here, provides that every Kenyan must defend and uphold this Constitution. I get very surprised when they are invited to come, they are given fair administrative action, as required by Article 47 of the Constitution, which it says, and I would like to read for them for free, maybe they have been paying lawyers to come and do some wrong things. I quote: “Every person has the right to a fair administrative action that is expeditious, efficient, lawful, reasonable and procedurally fair.” Hon. Speaker, what the Committee did was to complete this thing in a very expeditious manner as provided by the Constitution. I was very surprised when somebody asked why the work was being expedited, when the Constitution in Article 47 says so. They should read it. They just need to acquaint themselves with the provisions of the Constitution. As it has already been said, this Committee even went to great lengths of making an attempt to entertain evidence from those people. In fact, they just needed, as the Deputy Speaker has said, to consider those petitions on prima facie or on the face of it. I must thank them. They went into the depth, did the work of a tribunal and even the tribunal will have very little work to do. They have already been guided and they will just complete their work in the most expeditious way. With those remarks Hon. Speaker, I support."
