    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to oppose this Motion for very good reasons. Firstly, when you read the Motion, it says that this committee will take effect from the 2nd September, 2014 and yet on the 2nd of October, 2014, it was already one month later. In a few days, that is, on the 2nd November, 2014, it will be two months. Therefore, the lifetime we are giving this committee will elapse even before we have discussed it in the House. Secondly, I have tremendous respect for both the Mover and the Seconder of this Motion. Everybody knows my friendship with both of them, particularly, my deputy chair in the Committee on Information and Technology, who is the Mover of the Motion. When you look at the list of the Members of this committee, you can imagine that you are reading a list of Members of the Legal Affairs and Human Rights Committee. I am wondering then why we are duplicating a committee unless we saying that the Committee on Legal Affairs and Human Rights is so unable to execute its responsibilities and that we should dissolve it and form another committee which we are calling ad hoc to carry out the responsibilities that the Committee on Legal Affairs and Human Rights is supposed to carry out. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, with all due respect to my colleagues, the proposed chairperson of this committee, Sen. Wako is the Chairperson of the Committee on Legal Affairs and Human Rights. I have heard my good friend, Sen. Sang, say that not all Members of this proposed committee are Members of the Committee on Legal Affairs and Human Rights. However, when I read it over, a half of them are Members. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
