    "content": "We have a problem in this House concerning this matter. Even debating the substantive Motion will be a problem for us. How far are we supposed to go, in terms of discussing the merits and demerits of whether we should vet or not vet an appointee or someone who has already been elected by judges? That to me is very tricky. Therefore, I want to plead with this House that this amendment is not good and is not helping the court, let us go by the findings of the Committee. They took a lot of time looking into this matter and came to a conclusion with the recommendation on page 19 of the Report, that the matter is sub judice . I think they were informed and I would like to hear the Chair of the Committee responding or contributing to his amendment. Today, the Leader of the Majority Party is too loud. Hon. Speaker, please save me from him so that I can be heard properly on the other side. I want the Chair of the Committee to hear me. I am addressing him, since it is his Committee that came up with this conclusion. I think it is important and proper for him to make a contribution. But, if you ask me, my position is that as House we need to reject this amendment and go back to the main Motion. Hon. Speaker, you need to guide us on how far we can go in debating this matter because it is a thin line. We cannot debate it without interfering with the case filed in court. I oppose."
