    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, there are many more reasons I would prefer Hon. Olago as my President. He speaks the truth and the law. I think what we need to understand is how this matter is going to go through the route of law-making. Today we have a Motion which basically is to find out if the Motion which we had approved earlier has been complied with and implemented. This Report in itself proposes draft Bills, but these are draft Bills which, in my view, must come in the regular manner. In other words, they would have to be published and go to the Departmental Committees. We will have to treat them in the normal manner of treating Bills. The direction we probably need from you, as Chair of this session, is to let us know that what we have before us is a Motion for adoption of the recommendations of the Select Committee that we set up. We have draft Bills before us, which will go through the normal circuit of legislation-making. This will enable us to dissipate the excitement I see in the House. Hon. Members will then know that we have time to engage with these issues. I am one of those who will be on their feet to say that party hopping is a constitutional right of Kenyans."
