    "content": " Hon. Speaker, thank you very much for not just highlighting the Judgment of the Court of Appeal, but also analysing and dissecting it in a scholarly and lawyerly manner. You have made it clear for even non-lawyers in the Senate to understand the Judgment clearly. Hon. Speaker, you were very modest in saying that there is no winner. Although the Constitution says that Parliament means the National Assembly and the Senate, out of this House, Kenyans know that Parliament is the National Assembly. There is no other Parliament. They call us MPs and they call the Members of the other House; Senators. That is the fact. We must commend our Legal Department. They have done a very good job in coordination with our external lawyers. I am proud that many of them who are now leading that directorate were interviewed in the 10th Parliament and others when I was a commissioner. They are doing an exemplary job in the Legal Department. This Judgment is going to make it clear to the other House that they are boxing above their weight. That is a fact they must understand."
