    "content": " Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. I come to the House before you and leave after you. Therefore, I have learnt a lot during these four years that I have been here. Hon. Speaker, first of all, as to whether you have the power to overrule a decision that has been made by this House, I have gone through the Standing Orders, and I have not seen where it is expressed. The Petition was amended by the House not by Hon. Rasso. Hon. Rasso only proposed an amendment in this House. Through a Question that had been put, the House itself amended this particular Petition. The Petition has been in this House for more than one-and-a-half years and it has been postponed every now and then. I beg you not to allow anymore postponement of this Petition because people are dying. We do not know whether there is a hidden hand of blood- thirsty-vampires behind this postponement for people of Marsabit to continue dying. Justice delayed is justice denied. Let us put the Question today so that those who want to kill this Petition and those who want to support the people of Marsabit can do so on the Floor of the House. Put the Question so that we can make a decision in this House. Any decision that may be unconstitutional can only be done and interpreted by the Judiciary because it has been given the mandate of interpreting the law. You cannot be in the legislative arm of the Government and at the same time in the Judiciary arm of Government for you to interpret whether a matter is constitutional or not. Put the Question and anyone who is aggrieved can go to court. Thank you, Hon. Speaker."
