    "content": "What are we required to do? The Minister or the Government is asking us to reduce the publication period of the Vetting of Judges and Magistrates (Amendment) Bill from 14 days to eight days. Why is this the case? There is no reason. We decided to have the publication period for 14 days to allow for public participation. It was also to allow us to have time to look at what is in the proposed Bill. However, if you reduce the publication period from 14 days to eight days, you are not only denying this House an opportunity to look at the amendment critically, but you are also denying the people of Kenya an opportunity to know why an Act of Parliament which we passed just the other day is being brought back to this House. I will tell you that many of us, probably even in this House, do not even know why this amendment has been brought to this House."
