    "content": "Hon. Speaker, I always address meetings without microphones in my constituency. I acknowledge that pursuant to an invitation that the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs and the CIOC made to the leadership of the House, they turned up. This included Hon. Jakoyo Midiwo, the Leader of the Majority Party, Hon. Duale, Hon. Chris Wamalwa and the rest of the team. They came. Unfortunately, Jubilee had a parliamentary group meeting outside Parliament. Most of the Members delayed up to around 11.30 a.m. We had asked them to be present at 10.00 O’clock, and so the others waited. I would like to apologise on behalf of the two Committees for holding them up for a long time. They waited for over 30 minutes. You can see that they regarded this matter as very important and I must thank them. Regardless of what is being said about CORD, at least, four Members of this team are very good people. I can acknowledge that. We must continue in the same spirit. Hon. Kaluma claims that he has been de-whipped but he knows that it is not true. He sought an excuse to get out of the Committee but while we discussed, I requested him to come back. He has acknowledged the same. He has agreed unequivocally that he will make attempts to come back. I must thank him for agreeing to come back. He is a very good Member of the Committee. When we were passing the Bills which the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs sponsored, he contributed quite effectively. I can tell that his constituency made the right choice.
