    "content": "The second issue I would like to speak to is with regard to something my colleagues have spoken to; the existence of a select committee versus the spirit of what is in the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs. Article 124 of the Constitution says that Parliament may establish Committees and shall make Standing Orders for the orderly conduct of its proceedings. The Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs is a creation of the standing orders which is also a creation of Article 124 of the Constitution. Article 124(2) of the Constitution also says that Parliament may establish joint committees consisting of Members of both Houses and may jointly regulate the procedures of those Committees. The Kiraitu/Orengo led Committee, in my view, is in a way inferior to the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs. This is because the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs and the Orengo/Kiraitu led Committee are both creations of Article 124 of the Constitution."
