    "content": "then that will be so. There is no basis for someone to stop you from traveling. If you insist on travelling as a Member of Parliament, nobody can stop you because there is no legal basis for stopping you from travelling. I was once removed from the plane under the old Constitution. I would rather we bring the case properly before the House. With that, we can then say that on such a day, Sen. Poghisio was not allowed to travel. That will help us to pursue the officers at the airport and ask them where they got those instructions. If that happened, then it is wrong. We should also have a proper case of the staff. However, the staff are managed in a different way because the instructions can come from the Executive or from the Speaker’s office though I do not think that the Executive can direct the staff of Parliament. If a member of staff was stopped by the Executive from travelling, then it is our responsibility to defend him because we are an independent arm of the Government. We should do so instead of talking about this in the abstract. I encourage Sen. Cheruiyot to come with that specific case for it to be properly placed before the relevant Committee then we can discuss it."
