    "content": "We cannot discuss names for one hour. We have repeated ourselves too much while discussing these names. If we do not want to adopt this Motion as a House, we should put it to vote. There is nothing of value we are adding by mentioning issues of gender. I am standing on a point of order which must be decided upon. The only thing that we should be clear as a House is that these nominees that have been forwarded to us--- We need to amend that law. As far as I am concerned, it is unconstitutional to give the Cabinet Secretary (CS) power to nominate people without going through the due process as required by Article 232 of the Constitution. However, since that is the law that we passed in this House, we need to amend it so that we can be in compliance with the Constitution, but since this House decided to be unconstitutional you cannot blame the people who are outside for complying with the law because of our own mistakes. We should be men and women enough to accept our own mistakes and move on and bring an amendment in this House so that we can regularise the law. As it is at the moment, it is not compliant. So, in accordance with Standing Order No.95, I am requesting that you ask the Mover to reply. I thank you."
