    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, I did not mean to be harsh on the Chairperson of the Committee. In fact, he was already saluted for having done his work expeditiously. However, this House cannot seek solace and comfort. In fact, the Standing Order allows us to reject a report. Our duty is not to reject reports but to make good laws which will come out of informed decisions, having read and understood what is before us. Sen. Sang may be interested in hearing that when we were debating the new Constitution on matters of land, I visited my friend, the late Bargetuny - God rest his soul in eternal peace - in Nairobi Hospital and the poor old man had tubes through his nose and mouth, but there was somebody seated next to his bed reading to him the Chapter on land in the new Constitution. That is how emotive the matter is. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I encourage this House that we have a duty to the country. We can abdicate the duty and be rubber-stamps, move on and make statistics that we passed so many Bills because the Constitution says so. It is not the Constitution---"
