    "content": "other Commissioners went to the High Court in Nairobi seeking orders to stop Parliament from debating any Bill that purported to remove them. They filed in the High Court Nairobi, Judicial Review Petition No.689 of 2008, Samuel Mutua Kivuitu and 22 others versus the Attorney-General. When the court issued an order stopping Parliament from debating that Bill, I raised the issue in the Tenth Parliament and your then predecessor, hon. Marende, took views of the Members of Parliament extensively and finally, he made a ruling. That ruling is as alive then as it is now. This is because, then the order that was issued by the High Court read as follows:- “A conservatory order be issued to restrain the Government of Kenya from taking or commencing any executive or legislative action or process to disband the or abolish the ECK and/or remove its members from office pending the hearing and determination of this application”"
