    "content": "Legal Affairs was not proper. He is also trying to link what is being done by this Committee and what is being done by the Joint Select Committee of this House to bring confusion to this country and the House. There is nowhere in the Constitution and the Standing Orders where the operations of our duly constituted committees can be suspended by the existence of a Joint Select Committee. I respect my brother Midiwo because he is one of the most senior Members in this House. As a respected leader, he should guide this House and country so that we do not cause panic outside there. As a Member of the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs, my submission is that, in your ruling, you should find that the Report before the House, and the discussion by the Committee was properly done. There is no challenge posed whatsoever by the existence of a Joint Committee of the Senate and this House, as alleged by my colleague. This House is supposed to guide the nation. We are aware that Kenyans are waiting to find out what will happen with regard to this Report. Let us discuss issues of the legality of this Report when debating it, but not before the debate is done."
