    "content": "I have listened to Hon. Chris Wamalwa very clearly. Even some of the points of order raised were premature because he was raising concerns that we should listen to instead of hounding him. I just want to say that I support but even in doing so, I have issues that I want to raise. The Wakf Act has been there before but what this Bill is seeking to do is to expand the scope and when it is doing so, we must test it against constitutionality. In testing it against constitutionality, the guiding principle is that the Constitution only allows discrimination on matters of personal law. We must test it against personal law. I do not think it is right for people to challenge us that we are not friends of Muslims if we raise issues that are constitutional. We must taste it against governance standards. The moment taxpayers’ money is being used over an issue, I must raise governance issues. Otherwise, I will also bring here issues of Seventh Day Adventists, to which I belong; we pass and nobody should talk about it. However, the moment a Bill comes to this House, it belongs to the House and let every Member support it. There are issues I support here and not every Member opposes the issues that I may oppose here."
