    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I want to support the position taken by Hon. Makali Mulu. There can be no bigger issue for this House to discuss. Members need to apprise themselves of the contents of the Report. As it is now, if we pass this Motion, ideally, what we are giving ourselves is 15 minutes to get the Report and read it. I want to draw the attention of this House to what happened when we were considering the nomination of the retired Deputy Chief Justice (DCJ). I raised the issue that in the Report, there was an indication that we were likely to have a problem with succession. There was even an indication in the Report that the person we wanted to approve as DCJ did not have proper legal philosophy. As if Members did not read the Report, we proceeded to pass it. What happened? We now do not have a CJ or a DCJ. My proposal would be between today and tomorrow morning, I do not see much difference in the timelines we have even for the IEBC, so that we can have time overnight to read this Report. At the very worst, we can adjourn the House now and get the Report, read it and reconvene at 6.45 p.m. We cannot sit here as Members of this House and take just 15 minutes to look at the Report on the CJ and pass it. We could as well have left it to the The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
