    "content": "In fact, if the Committee did not bring this amendment, I was ready to file it after I read the Report. For us to discuss the progress Report, in as far as where they have reached Recommendation No. (iii) ought to have been done away with. That is why I support it. The House works through the Constitution, relevant laws, Standing Orders and precedents. Therefore, we are setting a precedent. I think Recommendation Nos. (i) and (ii) are in place. The Committee says that the matter given to us through a message by the President cannot proceed because of the rule of sub judice . That is why Hon. Mbadi should not just say that these are the people who interpret the law. No, Hon. Speaker! The three arms of Government must work in a complementary form. I want to jog his memory. The bone of contention in this matter is between Article 171 of the Constitution under the subtitle “Establishment of the Judicial Service Commission” and the application of Article 250(2)(b) read together with Article 248. Those are the three articles that have brought these complications. However, Parliament is a House of rules. In the 10th Parliament, which my good friend the Leader of the Minority Party served with me, the House vetted the predecessor of Hon. Judge Warsame as the representative of the Court of Appeal, the retired Justice Riaga Omollo. I remember in the 10th Parliament, the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs chaired then by the Member for Budalangi and current Chief Administrative Secretary (CAS) for Foreign Affairs, Hon. Ababu Namwamba, vetted Hon. Justice Riaga Omolo as the representative of the Court of Appeal. It also vetted senior counsel Ahmednasir Abdullahi and lawyer Florence Mwangangi representing the Law Society of Kenya (LSK) among many others. Of course, there was somebody by the name Gatere representing the Public Service Commission (PSC). There was also Christine Mango, former MP for one of the constituencies in Busia, representing the non-lawyers."
