"content": "Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker. I am doing this in good faith. I have two points. First, this process is time bound. This means that if by the time the Committee brings the report here it will not have been given an opportunity to look at the 15 names if you so allow, then it will mean that these six people will have been denied an opportunity. More importantly, how do I come in to address the issue of another political party? Hon. Members, when we vote for the names of the East African Legislative Assembly (EALA) members, the voting exercise will not ask Members of Parliament who belongs to the ODM so as to vote for the names nominated by ODM alone. The nomination rules require that all Members of Parliament vote for the names, whether they belong to parties or not. So, I was innocently thinking that because hon. Members will be asked to make a decision on the names originated by other parties, the process should be in accordance with the rules and, indeed, transparent."
