    "content": " Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. With utmost respect to hon. John Harun Mwau, I think, yet again, he is reading the Constitution very selectively. The fact of the matter is that this House has already appointed the JSC and approved the names. The question of going back to Section 20 of the transitional clause is spent because that section, strictly speaking, was merely seeking to provide for the short-term measures to ensure that the Judicial Service Commission is established. Therefore, the business on the Floor of the House – and I want to salute my student who, apparently, learnt very well from me in moving the Motion – is clearly seeking to satisfy the requirements of Article 171, not because we are now appointing a new Judicial Service Commission as hon. John Mwau is suggesting, but because we appointed and one person, out of his own constitutional right, decided to resign. Therefore, what we are doing is merely to satisfy Article 171(2)(h) because there is a vacancy. The vacancy was created by a person nominated and appointed under Article 171(2)(h). Therefore, I beg with respect to my good neighbour from Makueni County, to withdraw his objection and you rule that this Motion is in order."
