    "content": "I also wish to remind the Committee on Appointments, which you chair, that the Constitution places an awesome responsibility on it, just as it does on all the committees of this House. Indeed, just for the record, when a committee of this House sits--- Article 125 of the Constitution says that when a committee of the House sits, calls evidence and interrogates witnesses it has the same powers as the High Court of Kenya. When this House sits in interrogation of a matter like this one--- When the Committee on Appointments met and deliberated on this matter, they enjoyed powers similar to those a High court of this Republic would enjoy. I make reference to these constitutional provisions to draw our attention to the enormity of the responsibility confronting us right now. It is an enormous responsibility."
