    "content": "Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. I want to start by saying I really sympathize with hon. Murungi because of what has happened. If there are people who have found themselves in this mix, and having heard very clearly what the Chair said, it is really unfortunate. If the process has been flawed--- If the process is wrong, the end product will be wrong. Hon. Deputy Speaker, I really want to take this opportunity to thank this Committee because it is wonderful. This Committee has restored the dignity of this House by rising beyond ethnicity and regionalism as this is a House for this country. It has a duty to check the Executive and to ensure that whatever is done is done in accordance with the law and the Constitution. Let me say here very clearly that it should not be assumed that at all times we want to discuss issues as coalitions. It should not be assumed that we can misuse the numbers we have in this House; these hon. Members must act for the benefit and the good of this country. This is a very good signal to the Executive, that we understand that this Parliament must have teeth to bite and it must do whatever it is supposed to do. There are princes of impunity who surround the Executive. The law is clear. If a name is rejected by this House, how does it come again before this House? Are these people in disregard of the law?"
