    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I beg to move that the Motion be further amended as follows:- By inserting the following words immediately after the words “Tuesday, 7th July 2015”- “Subject to the insertion of the following words immediately after the words “Administration Committee of the JSC” appearing in the recommendation number 20 on page 139 of the Report: “Commissioners Smokin Wanjala, Mohammed Warsame, Ahmednassir Abdullahi, Rev. Samuel Kobia, Christine Mango and Emily Ominde”. This is to make it clear because members of the Finance and Administration Committee of the JSC have been changing from time to time. I am saying this out of the information I have as the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs. It will be unfair to subject the new entrants to the committee to investigations on matters that they never participated in. Secondly, this Report is time-specific. We are talking about events that happened when certain individuals were in office during the time the investigation was being undertaken by the PAC. I move the amendment as the Member for Ainabkoi Constituency, but aware that I am the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs. We want members of the JSC to take responsibility for monies which we appropriate to their care. This country gives the Judiciary Kshs18 billion. This is not little money. I am looking for about Kshs2.4 billion to tarmac a road in my constituency which is about 53 kilometres. This will completely change the face of that constituency and the life of the people wallowing in poverty in my constituency. When you are appointed to a position of responsibility, you should be able to take responsibility for matters that take place. Thirdly, culpability is not on the basis of a committee but on an individual basis. Responsibility is per person. That is what the law recognises. It recognises individual responsibility as opposed to corporate responsibility. I would like to request Hon. Ochieng to second. I thank you."
