    "content": "Hon. Speaker, I think your communication has set the threshold for the public to bring petitions. Yes, they have an opportunity to bring petitions on many issues, including the removal of constitutional office holders. Members of Parliament have the opportunity to impeach Cabinet Secretaries, Principal Secretaries, the Deputy President and the President. The Law has set a certain benchmark or threshold and so we do not want the types of Adrian. I do not know whether that gentleman is a lawyer. The Law Society of Kenya and the lawyers in this House need to confirm whether or not he is a lawyer. The last time I saw that gentleman in Parliament was when he was following the Information and Communication Technology (ICT) Bill. He was the Chair of an ICT association. So, I do not know why he is being called a lawyer. I think even the basic… I can remember Hon. Wamalwa raising an issue the other day that before a petition comes to the Floor for you to communicate, it must pass through a thorough scrutiny because there are too many busy bodies. This House must use resources and time on matters that can have a very good end product. We have no interest in the removal of the Chief Justice or any constitutional commission. Of course, if they commit a serious violation of the Constitution then this House will deal with them. I am so happy and I want to tell the likes of my friend, the owner of this petition and may others that this is a petition that can go to the bunge la wananchi ."
