    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, if this House wants to give prosecutorial powers to Justice Ringera, it is free to do so. But at this moment, there is no reason to keep him there, particularly if Parliament has not approved his re-appointment. The law is clear and we cannot circumvent it. Parliament has powers to approve. The committee goes through the list and forwards it to the President to select the members. Why has that process not been followed? You cannot tell us that because he was interviewed and appointed once, the way hon. Kiraitu was reasoning, there is no more reason to interview him. Who has vetted or assessed the work that he has done in the last five years? These are issues that we need to look at. This is time for peace. We have been trying to make peace with our colleagues. We will not sit back and be part of illegalities. People have died because of such issues. Kenyans have shed blood because of such issues. We want the Executive to respect the supremacy of Parliament because Parliament has a role to play."
