    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, there are things that we need to say from a point of honesty, faith and professionalism. The hon. Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs knows that he is a man of respect because his colleagues expect him to exhibit the highest level of professionalism. He also holds us accountable because he knows that we are worthy of faith and truthfulness. I was one of those who dissented from this Report. We dissented on very clear terms that we expressed; we specifically asked the Clerk to record our dissent and make it part of the Report. You know that the Standing Orders say that where there is a dissent, it will be incorporated in the body of a report. So, for the hon. Chairman to treat the Member of Parliament for Makadara as though he has been discussing with him to withdraw his dissent is, in my view, unprofessional. Much more, it is a great professional dishonour if he cannot come forth to explain why exactly the dissent did not appear in a Report coming from lawyers of great repute, and so many years at the bar. Can the hon. Chairman explain why our dissent does not find itself in the body of the Report?"
