    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. During the debate on the formation of the Special Committee, I raised a very important issue about the time when we receive this report from the Committee and the time when we debate it. Because the norm has been that we receive the report, we go through it for a few minutes and we are asked and required to vote, to contribute to this report before. We had made a request as we discuss this whether it is possible to have an intervention from the Chair so that when this report is ready, it is availed to Members and some ample time is given for Members to be able to go through this report, digest it and make meaningful contributions and vote on something that they have been able to read and understand. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, as we debate this matter, it is important that we also get some direction from the Chair and communicate to the Committee so that we can have the opportunity to look at this report. During the Kiala and Wambora impeachments, we had a serious problem because Members were trying to find out what they were going to contribute on, vote for or against, because they had not gotten an opportunity to go through the report. So, with your intervention, assist us to resolve this."
