    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for hearing me out. The clarity I seek is that when you watch proceedings in our courts, the legal philosophy that helps them to make decisions appears to have changed. I now see that videos are admissible. In fact, the courts are now embracing social media to the extent that service to attend court or receive legal notices is admissible on WhatsApp. Mr. Speaker, Sir, also in this House, we have on various impeachment proceedings admitted videos from county assemblies. In view of this, I was wondering, going forward, how do we want to treat videos and evidence based on social media, so that we are in tandem with the legal practice in the jurisprudence in our courts?"
