    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I think hon. Mwau is misreading and misinterpreting the Constitution for reasons that have been advanced by my learned colleagues, hon. Imanyara, Odhiambo-Mabona and Mutula Kilonzo. Indeed, if you have been listening to the Member, he is not challenging the constitutionality of the Motion. He is just engaged in arguments and arguments. So, what we should do, in my view, is allow the Motion to proceed. Hon. Mwau can contribute in the manner he wishes. He can cite as many provisions of the Constitution as he thinks fit. In the process, he can convince some Members who may be swayed to vote for or against the Motion. As it is, we have already transitioned. What is transition? It is moving from one place to another. You cannot transition continuously. We have already transitioned and there is a Chief Justice, Deputy Chief Justice and a Supreme Court in place, and the Judiciary is being reorganized. Therefore, what we are doing here is that we are replacing a person who was appointed and resigned for reasons that he gave. So, I do not see any difficulty that hon. Mwau is facing in the issues that he is raising. I would really urge you that if there is any reason for you to give a ruling at all, it can come as debate goes on, so that we can move on with the debate; I do not see any issue that should hold us back from debating this Motion."
