    "content": "I want to persuade the House to see the wisdom of having an ad hoc committee over and above the Standing Committee of Legal Affairs and Human Rights. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we give this committee a time limit of six months hoping that within this timeframe, we shall have concrete steps. It is also important for the ad hoc Committee to brief this House oftenly so that the House does not have to hold a Kamukunji every other time there is a court order and an injunction being issued by the courts. We need this committee to engage constantly and brief this House on the engagements. They will also brief our legal counsels representing us in some of those cases. With this kind of approach, we shall be able to provide leadership and get out of the challenges facing us. I want to persuade the House to look at the wisdom of having an ad hoc committee over and above the Standing Committee on Legal Affairs and Human Rights. The House should consider the wisdom of having the Speaker sitting with us in the committee as the ex-officio Member. With this committee, we should have a better understanding on the impact of the court cases facing us and provide a softer avenue for the Senate to approach and deal with these issues. With those few remarks, I beg to second."
