    "content": " On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I think we are belittling the important role that the Act of Parliament gave to the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs. The role of that Committee is to look at the Report of the IEBC and then look at the errors that the Commission may gave committed. So, it is a very important exercise. They look at the issues, reasoning of the Commission, errors the Commission may have made. They look at the constituencies that may have been given constituencies, which they deserve. They look at the ones which deserved but did not get. So, this is a very important exercise. We should allow the Committee to look at the IEBC report, bring their recommendation here. We debate them and either approve or disapprove them. So, I think we should allow the process to proceed. It is only after we have seen the Report, then we can make our comments. However, I would like to advise the Committee is that they need to seriously look at the Commission’s report; look at all the errors the Committee has made because they have made some errors, look at all the constituencies that got constituencies, and did not deserve, and look at the ones who deserved and did not get. That is very important."
