"content": "One thing that I appreciate and felt very good about this particular speech is respect for the separation of institutional roles. Those of us who were there and participated in the midwifing of the current Constitution, one of the things that the August 2010 Constitution emphasised on is respect for the rule of law. Hon. Deputy Speaker, you are a lawyer with many years of experience. The opening chapter in Article 1 emphasizes on representation and clearly spells out the nexus between representation and sovereignty. That is one Article that all of us must accept and pursue to the letter. At times somebody will invoke Articles 95 and 96 and say the role of a Member of Parliament (MP) is not clearly defined. Unfortunately, the Salaries and Remuneration Commission (SRC) up to now is yet to accept the role of Members of Parliament. It is not just limited to representation."
