Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is their independent decision. The only thing that we had requested is that, as a Committee, it will be necessary that we have a copy. The leadership of the county assemblies were given a copy of whatever form they are going to use for re-evaluation. I think that my colleagues also will make additional---

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, first of all, the Senator for Machakos did not inform me. He had a question and so, he was out of order in my own judgement. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I think that the constitutional question of whether you can evaluate an elected leader is not yet concluded at the moment.

I am sorry, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, regarding whether or not we found out if the SRC have a capacity to do their job, we did not reach there.

This will give us the confidence that these are men and women who have the capacity to continue doing their job. But we were reminded by Members of the ...

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I think that, that is a very valid point. It does not have to even come through the Committee. Any Member can write and inform the Commision, but as a Committee, we will take it in and ensure that we include it in our report. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, there is this question bothering us about the constitutionality of the evaluation or re-evaluation process. I am not inciting anybody, but The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, ...

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this is an ongoing requisition and after Tuesday, we should be able, again, perhaps to report to the House on the progress made. That progress made can be reported on Thursday next week.
