    "content": "This is not a Joint Select Committee, but a forced group of people who will sit and negotiate. I am not sure what they will negotiate about. I am sure whatever they say and do must ultimately come before the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs. The Motion proposes that the coalition leaders must sign to support this initiative. How can you anticipate what will come out of whatever this Joint Select Committee will do? In any case, they are 14, and can tie. Each of them has a vote and two-thirds forms its decision. So, I am not sure they will come up with anything concrete which will help this country move forward. This is a manifestation of a House which has been robbed of its mandate. This is a Motion which has not been brought in good faith. It has come because CORD has arm-twisted the Executive. It has forced the Executive and the Opposition to cross ranks, lock this House of Parliament and bring frivolous dialogue to hoodwink the Kenyan public."
