    "content": " Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I will raise just one point so that I can allow the hon. Minister behind me to also say 3860 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES December 3, 2008 something. I support the adoption of this Report. But I do not know whether the Committee on Administration of Justice and Legal Affairs, in deciding this criteria, might it have been that one of the candidates was too well known to the Committee, because it seems that the candidate was scoring extraordinarily high compared to the others? When you look at this, it almost seems that you are suggesting a decision. Could it have been that there was a lot of familiarity? But the real thing that worries me is that we have had the same candidate serve in the Constitution of Kenya Review Commission (CKRC). Just the fact that, that Commission did not deliver, is a very big dent. I do not know whether the Committee considered that. It actually failed to give us a new Constitution. I also wanted to ask whether we can sit comfortably with politicians sitting in commissions. I do not know what the views of the Chairman on that are, because I do not know the others including Ms. Ndomo Atieno and Kyalo Munyiva. I just know the first one. Actually, he vied for a Parliamentary seat. In fact, there is actually a petition on that. So, what happens if the person decides to leave again to go and contest, should that petition go through? So, it is cutting it too close. I am worried about it. I needed those comments to be reflected upon. I wish to hear what the Chairman has to say on that one."
