    "content": "Order, hon. Members! Indeed, I have made a ruling which in my considered opinion, I am entitled to this opinion as your Speaker, is correct and sound in law. As I understand it and as I understand the law, which these hon. Members of the 10th Parliament are responsible for the passage of both the Constitution of Kenya (amendments) Act and the Constitution of the Kenya Review Act. As a matter of fact, these two pieces of legislation were enacted by these House almost contemporaneously. So, Members, in fact, had the benefit of trying to know if there was any contradiction whatsoever between the Act and the Constitution. At any rate, if there were any conflict, the Constitution will prevail. However, it is my finding that there is no conflict. In so far as this matter is concerned, let us refer, for example, to the section that has been cited by the hon. Member for Sirisia. It reads as follows: I want to read it in extenso . Paragraph (c) of Section 47A(2) reads: “The National Assembly shall within 30 days of the introduction in the Assembly of a draft Constitution proposing the replacement of this Constitution, debate all the proposed amendments to the draft Constitution and submit to the Attorney-General the draft Constitution and any proposed amendments thereto, as may be approved by the Assembly in accordance with paragraph (b).” That is clear!"
