    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. First of all, I agree entirely and I am persuaded by the arguments advanced by Hon. Otiende Amollo and ably supported by my Minority Leader. In short, I gather from your ruling that the House should be persuaded that deference should be given to Article 127 of the Constitution to the extent that the procedure there takes precedence over that in Article 251. In short, Article 127 states - and I am persuaded - that a member of the PSC can be dewhipped in the same way you dewhip Members from a committee because that is the nominating entity. The only thing that I persuade you to add when you are considering this ruling is that under Article 147 of the Constitution and the Fair Administrative Action Act, there would ordinarily be the requirement for one to be given opportunity to be heard when being dewhipped. I persuade you to put that in your ruling for purposes of Article 47, the Fair Administration Action Act and the provision under Section 10 of the PSC Act. To the extent that a committee is formed that will give that opportunity, that will suffice and there is no reason to defer back to the political party to form a disciplinary forum for purposes of being heard."
