    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I do not know whether the hon. Senator for Kisumu, who is a member of that Committee, has spoken but I am not sure, but the Chairperson of that Committee has spoken to the progress report. I stood here to say it is premature. I would like to request that we give them one or two weeks and they will come back having made those attempts. There is nothing wrong with attempting a resolution. Those of us who practice law have been told many times that a bad consent is better than a good judgment. The best judgment that you can give is not like a poor consent. It is better to have a poor consent, but a consent between parties. Why not give the opportunity to the Chairperson and his Committee to go and attempt a political solution? Why are we in a rush? I am asking this so that we are not seen to be partisan as a House. Let the Committee go and attempt and this amendment that is being introduced is finalizing this report. That was not the intention of the Chairperson. I listened to him carefully. Mr. Speaker, Sir, unless we are saying we have no confidence in what the Chairman and the Committee is doing, I believe it is unfair to take a position at this time, whether that position is correct or not is not what I am saying. I am saying that we should give the Committee an opportunity to go and listen and seek a political solution. Let us not take a position now on Nyamira, so that we can give all political players, including the religious groups or the elders there a chance to give us a solution that will solve this problem once and for all. I beg to oppose that amendment and ask that we let the Committee go with the first form of the Motion; that they go down to Nyamira and attempt a political solution. I thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir."
