    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Speaker for giving me an opportunity to contribute to this very important Motion. I support the amendment by Hon. Wambugu, my classmate at the University of Nairobi (UoN). It will not be proper for this House… Once proceedings have commenced in the House, then there cannot be other proceedings and it cannot be sub judice, unless it is a comment on a matter which is already pending in the House. In fact, the suit by the Law Society of Kenya (LSK) which I respect and I am a member was sub judice to the House. In fact, I believe upon its determination, that suits will be dismissed. Some of the lawyers in this House are going to join the lawyers of Parliament to work with them. Already, whether that suit is entertained or not, Justice Hon. Warsame is already a nominee of the President and it is within the law for the President to bring a nominee to this House because that nominee is going to a commission. So, Hon. Speaker, I support this amendment because should we let it go the way it is with the Recommendation No. (iii), it means this House has undermined itself to have this sort of Report with the House agreeing to compromise its own regulations. So, I support Hon. Wambugu’s amendment and thank you for the opportunity. I urge Members to support this amendment so that we can delete No. (iii) which is offensive and against ourselves, the rules and law. Thank you, Hon. Speaker."
