    "content": " Hon. Speaker, I was seeking your guidance because the House, in my view, has two options. It is important for the House to realise that this is the last day that we have, otherwise, all these nominees will be deemed to have been approved by the House, if we go beyond today. Since the Act is quite clear and this being the last day, the House has two options. Since there is evidence that was adduced before the Committee by none other than the Commissioner-General of KRA… We are aware, as Hon. Martha has said, there is a letter that has been done by another officer within the same institution. I seek your guidance on these two options. One is for the Committee to seek leave for an extension of time for the new evidence that has been adduced to be considered by the Committee and it then tables a report here. I think the Chair of the Departmental Committee on Lands can do that by way of a Motion this afternoon. Second, you guide the House on how to transact this matter, because we cannot as plenary be doing the work of the Committee. We must be faithful to our own rules and procedures. We must also be faithful to the letter and spirit of the Public Appointments (Parliamentary Approval) Act. I beg to ask that you do guide the House accordingly."
