    "content": "Well, I will issue a comprehensive response and guidance to that. Appreciating what Hon. T.J. Kajwang’ said, remember it is still within the authority of the House to make and unmake laws. In fact, it sounds a bit tedious that a Member of the House of Parliament can even go to court to seek that a law be nullified when you can do it here yourselves. Be that as it may, you put those provisions in 2015 culminating to 2016. This is just to request Hon. T.J because I may not be available most of the time, if you could move with speed so that Section 34 does not appear to frustrate the rights given to Kenyans in Article 119 of the Constitution although Article 119 is coached in terms that say, to petition Parliament to do anything within its power including to enact and repeal laws. So, I will request Hon. T.J Kajwang’ and the Deputy Speaker to move with speed and bring that amendment. I am aware of several of those kinds of petitions that are before the House and the Committee. We do not want to appear like the Committee is not working yet the Committee is arm strung by the provisions of the law that this House passed. There will be communication in that regard."
