    "content": "over the current claims disclosed to Parliament and the appointing authority at the time of vetting and subsequent appointment. In this regard, the petitioner prays that the National Assembly interrogates the grounds in the Petition with a view to recommending the vacation from office of the Chairperson in accordance with the provisions of Article 251 of the Constitution. Having keenly considered the Petition, I am satisfied that it is presented in the proper form as contemplated under Article 251 of the Constitution, the Petition and Procedure Act of 2012 and our own Standing Orders. Consequently, and in keeping with paragraph 3 of Standing Order 230, this Petition stands committed to the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs for consideration. The Committee is expected to guide the House by way of a report on whether the Petition satisfies the grounds for the removal of a Member of a constitutional commission as set out under paragraphs 1 and 2 of Article 251 of the Constitution. Aware that the consideration of a petition for removal of persons from office in accordance with Article 251 of the Constitution is different from that of an ordinary public petition, the applicable timelines ought to be strictly adhered to by the Committee and, indeed, the House."
