    "content": "(Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki): Mr. Speaker, Sir, I did not intend to talk but after listening to you, I am worried about a small issue which the Speaker might want to entertain in your further reflection on this matter between now and Tuesday. It is the issue of reasons. As my senior Sen. Orengo said, which I support, we shall sit as a quasi-judicial body. One of the indispensable requirements of procedural natural justice as opposed to substantial natural justice is that a decision that comes out of such a quasi-judicial process must be provided - obviously in writing - and reasons for it must be given. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am worried. I know you have thought about it extensively but between now and Tuesday, maybe there will be need for you to reflect further. I am not trying to challenge your ruling but it is something that you can think about and see whether it can be modified in one way or the other. Off the record, I am willing to share with the secretariat or yourself what I am thinking. This is something we had consulted with the Senate Minority Leader on how it can be modified slightly so that the issue of a decision and the reasons for that decision can still emanate from this process. I am sorry but I just thought it should go on record that that is something worth considering."
