"content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, allow me to also appreciate the right of the House to decide in the manner that they deem fit like they have. I also defend the integrity and efficacy of the committee system. I always take pride in the fact that the late hon. (Dr.) Bonaya Godana, hon. Julius ole Sunkuli, hon. Henry Obwocha and myself are the fathers of the committee system in our parliamentary system. We will stand everywhere to defend the committee system. Mr. Speaker, Sir, be that as it may, I encourage all the Members that the task ahead will demand that we sacrifice what is humanly possible to be present in the House when the Chair directs so. This will prevent any hitches. We do not want cameras of the national television to be beaming on empty seats when Members are supposed to be present discharging their responsibility to hear, for the first time in Plenary, an impeachment process. Finally, on a light note, I expected only two votes on the yes page. However, since some Members have been synchronised and tuned to vote yes all the time, they erroneously voted yes. Some Members attempted to recant the votes only to realise that once you leap from the diving board, you must touch the water."
