    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I propose that amendments be allowed to delete Rule 8(3) because of the following reasons. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the reasons are very similar to those advanced by Mr. Muite. Every hon. Member of this House would desire to have an opportunity to approve or disapprove of any name suggested by any political party. If we delete sub-rule (3), we will be left with an opportunity to augment these rules using the Standing Orders. The Standing Orders will entitle hon. Members to treat the list that will be brought to this House as any other Motion. It will also entitle hon. Members to move amendments and vote for them. That will not rob any political party of a right to bring a fresh nominee. Therefore, this House does not wish to have a situation where a list is brought to us and imposed upon us. Then we are required to vote for the list without having an opportunity to discuss each individual name in the list. Mr. Speaker, Sir, if this House agrees an opportunity will be available for any hon. Members, so objecting, to move the usual Motion regarding a particular name and cause the House to debate it, and vote either in support of or against it. The Standing Orders will be available to augment the regulations that we have here. Mr. Speaker Sir, the deletion of Rule 8(3) will empower this House to do what the spirit of Article 150 captured. I would loath the day, as an hon. Member of Parliament for Rongo Constituency, to approve names just by shouting and not having an opportunity to delete a name that I object to. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to move and ask Mr. Kajwang to second."
