    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Speaker. It is high time we looked at other issues. We have this judgment with us, but in my opinion, it is not wise to give orders that may not be implemented. This is because if you do that then it reduces the powers or the credibility of the institutions concerned. Given the sentiments in this particular order, it is something that may not be implementable. So, this is also a reflection for us as a House and citizens. Sometimes we come up with very serious documents like our Constitution, but remember Parliament may not force people to go out there to vote. This may need a referendum. We have come up with a law that may not be practical to implement. The law does not talk about those appointed positions. How do you force the people to elect? Are we supposed to fill the House with the people who are nominated like we have done with the county assemblies or the other House where there are 20 extra nominated Members? Those extra Members do not even have a vote! We are also talking about reducing the wage Bill. We should reflect on this matter as a country."
