    "content": "The only point at which I disagree with the Leader of the Majority Party is how we treat a report of a Committee in which some parts are perfectly lawful and constitutional and in which only some parts are unconstitutional or may be deemed unlawful. The procedure of what happens in law, Hon. Speaker - and you served in the Judiciary for very long - what you do is severe the findings or recommendations in the Report which would contradict the law or the Constitution. You do that by way of amendment. You do not kill the whole Report. That is the extent to which I disagree with the Leader of the Majority Party. Otherwise, if there is a recommendation for removal, so that we do not find ourselves in an awkward position in future, we can severe them by amendment. If there are provisions which seem to suggest that the commissioners, contrary to Section 11(2)(a) of the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission Act are being blamed for procurement which are matters for the secretariat, we can also severe that by amendment. But we cannot go ahead to adopt a report which recommends wholesale removal."
