    "content": "Hon. Deputy Speaker, I want you to use Standing Orders No.1 because there is need for consultation. You also have to consult the Speaker because he said there would be no amendment on the mother Motion. We also need to consult each other and re-look this matter. The most unfortunate thing that can happen in this country is for us to throw out this Report. It will be six months before we reconstitute another Committee. The elections are less than one year away. Both the Jubilee and the CORD coalitions went to negotiations and it is like we have agreed on everything else apart from those very bad Clauses, which seek to discourage Members from hopping from one party to another. The mood of the House is that the amendment by Hon. Aluoch Olago is acceptable, and that certain recommendations contained in the Report also need to be amended. The wisest thing to do is for you to adjourn debate on this very important Motion, so that we can seek consensus on these matters. When we meet again, we will pass the Report with amendments. Hon. Deputy Speaker, that is my advice. Let us not betray Kenyans. The consequences of our failure to adopt this Report would be street demonstrations that might lead to loss of lives. Kenyans will judge this House very harshly if that happens again. In order for us to come out with very well thought out amendments, we need time to sleep on this Report and consult. When we reconvene, we will come up with a better solution. Thank you."
