    "content": "minute and challenge it. This Bill is not talking about the Supreme Court or the independence of the Judiciary. The Supreme Court gave a ruling. We in Jubilee are the first people, led by our party leader, who came to the country and said: “We accept the verdict. Let us go back to elections”. We respect Judge Maraga. We respect all the six judges. We have no bad intention. There is no clause on the Judicial Service Commission (JSC) in this Bill. There is no clause on the Supreme Court. There is no clause on the Judiciary. This is about a clean-up and making sure that IEBC is very clear as they conduct the next election. So, I ask my colleagues something. I really want to ask the Leader of the Minority Party who is not here. Please, this afternoon, I am only going to nominate nine Members; I am waiting for your six Members. Bring your six Members. In 10 days, that Committee will do a proper public participation. They will speak to the IEBC; they will speak to the political parties of Jubilee and NASA; they will speak to the church and they will speak to the business community. If the stakeholders disagree with this Bill, they can remove certain provisions. That is why Parliament conducts public participation within the reading of Article 118 of the Constitution. Let us walk together. Let us subject this Bill to public participation. We are brothers. Let us not raise temperatures in our country. Let us not misinterpret. I want the public to be given an opportunity. We are the same House, in the 11th Parliament, that formed a Joint Select Committee of equal number from the Senate and the National Assembly. It was from both political formations. There is nothing mischievous here. There is no card under the table. It is as clear as the day is from the night. Baba must be watching me because when you see Junet rushing here.... Junet rarely comes for Wednesday’s Morning sittings. But, if you see Junet here.... I am very happy because my message will go direct to Baba . Junet is here and he is taking notes and he will tell Baba . He is a man I respect a lot. Junet represents two formations. One time, he is a Somali elder and comes and sits with us and we discuss the community. At times, he holds briefs for Baba . There is nothing wrong. This Bill is good. It will go for public participation. It will come back to Parliament. We will look at it at the Committee of the whole House stage and at the Second Reading. I urge my colleague the Leader of the Minority Party because he is the only one who has been confirmed by the NASA to listen to me. The rest of the leadership has not been confirmed. Junet agrees with me on that point. The only person confirmed by the NASA Coalition is Hon. John Mbadi as the Leader of the Minority Party. The rest are mark timing somewhere."
