    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I note that Orders No.8, 9 and 10 somehow will wind up in the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs. As no doubt you are aware, that Committee is not functional. Many of the Bills that His Excellency the President enumerated the other day will also be heading towards that Committee. I am a Member of that Committee. Under these circumstances, I think it is my duty and responsibility to Kenya to say that if there is a delay in the implementation of the Constitution, it will not be because of those hon. Members of that Committee. Seven out of 11 Members of the Committee, as per the Standing Orders, served the Clerk of the National Assembly with a petition stating that we have no confidence in our chairman. Mr. Speaker, Sir, we have not been able, quite amazingly to be able to simply have a meeting to resolve that particular issue. Would I be in order to seek your guidance in the national interest, that one way or the other, that issue be resolved for Parliament to be able to process these Bills and for the country to implement the Constitution? I think it is fair that the country does know that all this is because of one individual who is holding this country hostage. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I seek your guidance on that."
