    "content": "On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. With due respect to hon. Mutula Kilonzo, I would like to say that the power of the President under Article 171(2)(h) is to appoint one woman and one man. So, if the President was to exercise that power, then he must appoint one man and one woman. However, in reference to Article 20, the current Judicial Service Commission – it has a lifespan – it must only exist for three years. The power of the President is to appoint a person for three years under Article 20(3)(d). That is the person we are appointing. We are now not appointing a person under Article 171(2)(h). The President is supposed to appoint under Article 20(3)(d). If you look at Article 171, you will not find that Sub-article (4)(h). It does not exist. Therefore, your ruling is completely necessary as it might cause a lot of problems with the current Judicial Service Commission. You might appoint one person to serve for five years while the lifespan for the current Commission is constitutionally three years only. Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir."
