    "content": "and Committees that are already established, one House is ceding to another House. I take the view that; one, these things were not provided for, we thought that this is the best way to do it and I have admitted that it can go either way. It is because of the circumstances which I have elaborated. Two, we have taken sufficient safeguards in terms of one House maybe lording over the other. So, we said that as contemplated under Rule 9(6) of the Joint Rules:- “Unless a decision is reached by consensus, any vote to be taken in the joint sitting of the Committee shall be by separate Houses” So, we have already ensured that each House can actually transact its own business. It just looks ridiculous that one nominee comes to this House’s Committee and then goes to the other one, and may be you ask same questions; given the time we are talking about. Finally, you will be pleased to know that your distinguished Chairman, the Senator for Garissa, who is not resting his eyes, has actually been accepted by the Joint Committee to be the substantive Chairperson. So, Our House is well covered. For avoidance of doubt in future, for any opportunities that we will create, I have now directed the Committee on Legal Affairs and Human Rights, chaired by the eminent, Sen. Wako, to see what you can do in terms of the future. I really seek your understanding. Next Order! 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."
