    "content": " On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise on a point of order to just say that we have so many amendments that are currently on. We are debating them even before they have been moved; I would like to urge that we move in a systematic way. I know people are getting tired, but let us move in a systematic way, so that we know which amendment we are talking on. More importantly, even as we bring these amendments, I would like to urge that we also respect that the new Constitution is very clear on the separation of powers between the organs of Government. I would hate a situation where we now go to court on an electoral petition, saying that the Commissioner did something else, and the people we will be appearing before is a judge who sat in the Judicial Service Commission, that appointed a panel that appointed Commissioners. So, there are some issues that we need to look at so that we do not create monsters as we run away from own issues. Let us, first of all, clarify which amendment we are on and then move on systematically."
