    "content": "Hon. Speaker, I beg to lay the following Paper on the Table of the House: The Report of the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs on its Consideration of the Election Laws (Amendment) Bill, 2017. This is in regard to the Bill which you withdrew last week to allow us to file our Report. In the process, we have received serious objections from one of the Commissioners of the Judicial Service Commission (JSC). As you know, the proposed amendments originated from the Judiciary. We are very surprised because the Chief Justice (CJ) forwarded those amendments to us and then one Commissioner, Prof. Ojienda, wrote to us 10 pages in objection. We do not know who to believe between those two. One institution says that we should pass a Bill. We came here and made proposals to this House. The next thing we know is that someone is opposing the same proposals which have emanated from the Judiciary. This is one of those situations in which people should not confuse us. I beg to lay the Paper."
