    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, let me take this opportunity to make a contribution on this. I am aware of what some hon. Members may have said about the CIC, but what is important for us to be clear is that the CIC is one of the independent commissions set up under the Constitution. They were not only appointed, but the House participated in approving their appointments. We are in the process of implementing this new Constitution which has created several institutions. It has set up several principals that, in themselves, are counter-checking each other and have entrenched the process of checks and balances across the board. The worst we can possibly do is to lock out views simply because we do not agree with them. So, I would say that I do not share the views by the CIC, but I would ask hon. members to ensure that we also uphold or respect their views as a constitutional institution which we have ourselves, as Parliament, approved."
