    "content": "Was he researching? Where I come from, Grand Mullah is an authority. The word “mullah” is in the Islamic jurisprudence. When there is a contention you go to that man. So, those of us who are Members of Parliament from the Muslim areas were waiting for the Grand Mullah and he has put it very well. I think Hon. Otiende Amollo does not want to offend the Judiciary because he is a customer. I am not a customer. I do not do business there. When your job is at stake, you must stand up. Our job is at stake. Somebody wants to cut our five-year term irregularly through fraudulent means without looking at the Constitution holistically. I have no problem with Article 261(7), but you must tell me and interpret what we should do with Article 1(3), Article 94(2), Article 94 (1), Article 101(1), Article 136, Article 180 and Article 177. All these Articles must be read together for the Chief Justice to make a decision. The Chief Justice cannot just read one Article and advise the President. With those many remarks, I want to speak for my constituency. The men and women of Garissa Township brought me here. They are not aware of what is going on and I want to confirm to them that I am their Member of Parliament until the next Member for the 13th Parliament is sworn in here. In fact, Hon. Junet is wrong. Under this system, when the next Member is sworn in is when you lose your seat. So, until another Member for Garissa Township is sworn in, in the next election, I am still their Member. I do not want to talk about Parliament, but I want to speak to the people of Garissa Township. I do not want to listen to Hon. David Maraga because he did not vote for me. I have never seen him in the voters’ register of Garissa Township. In fact, the President is the person I voted for and I want to tell him, please, do not listen to the Chief Justice because we have some business to do for the Government and we will continue."
