    "content": " Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me an opportunity to participate in the general debate on the President’s Memorandum. At the outset, I would like to tell Hon. Oundo that when the debate was introduced, he had an opportunity to rise on a point of order to request the Speaker to give a ruling on the constitutionality of this debate at that particular point so that this House does not at any one time entertain something that is unconstitutional. However, because he chose to sit in his place and not rise on a point of order, it is not in good taste for him to say that what the Speaker has allowed to be discussed in this House is unconstitutional. We are within the constitutional parameters to discuss this memorandum since he did not rise on a point of order to question the constitutionality of this debate. Hon. Temporary Speaker, the President, like any other Kenyan, has an opportunity to bring to this House a petition or anything to be discussed here. The President also takes leave to give us his thoughts. So, let us discuss them in a general debate. There is no Motion or Bill The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
