    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I want to agree with you. I am sure my good friend, Hon. Mbadi, was keenly listening to me when I moved the Motion. From the level of inviting the public to give their memoranda up to the time as a Committee we invited the nominee to appear before us, a court order was served. We could not go through the full process of vetting the nominee because of that court order. The particular Recommendation No.(iii) in the Report is actually prohibiting this House from commenting on our Report. We were unable to vet the nominee and we did not approve his nomination for appointment as Member of the Judicial Service Commission. It is good to distinguish these two issues. The debate on the Report can only proceed if we delete Recommendation No.(iii), as truly mentioned by Hon. Munene, who is also a Member of this Committee. Hon. Speaker, on the decision as to whether a matter is sub judice or not, you have made rulings in this House because this is a House of procedures and records. You are the only one who can give direction on this matter. Hon. Mbadi, I think we need to distinguish the two issues. We are requesting Members to agree with the Committee that we were unable to vet the nominee. Therefore, we did not approve The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
