    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I stand here to oppose that Motion. If you look at the Order that hon. Midiwo has cited, it says:- “Unless for the convenience of the House, the Speaker or the Chairperson (as the case may be) directs earlier or later interruption of business---” That indicates who should adjust the timing for us to go away. I would like to state that it is not for the convenience of the House that we should extend today’s sitting until we finish because we have no intention of going away until matters which are pending here are resolved. I want particularly to mention one particular issue. There has been an appointment of the Kenya Anti-Corruption Commission (KACC) Director without regard to the legality, this House or the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs. The appointment has been made without regard even to the Advisory Board that is supposed to undertake the advisory role on the same Director. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, if you look at the Act, it says that the Advisory Board is supposed to set the terms and conditions of service of the Director and the Assistant Directors. If they did not appoint those people, under what terms and conditions will they work? Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we will not accept this Procedural Motion. I stand here confidently on behalf of the whole House to oppose this Motion."
