    "content": "Constitution in this National Assembly as it is now. People are conflicted. Some people are visiting State House and we do not know what they are doing there or what they are being told. So, when you bring that important decision in this House, some people may decide when their stomachs are speaking for them. Therefore, we may not end up getting the right decision. On the issue of the Supreme Court of Kenya, I have been thinking and doing research. The drafters of the Constitution missed something. Should the Supreme Court pronounce themselves in a manner that is not prescribed in the Constitution, what is the remedy? Hon. Temporary Speaker, I know you are a lawyer and one of the many good brains we have in this country but there was no express article or section where the Supreme Court could be corrected. I have read some articles from constitutions of different countries. Since the Constitution belongs to the people and the Supreme Court acts on behalf of the people of Kenya, they have delegated powers. Therefore, this is the right time for the majority of Kenyans or leaders to go back to the people and tell them that there is a problem with the Supreme Court that we have currently. I thank God that during my lifetime in this Parliament, when the Petition on the 2022 General Election was taken to the Supreme Court, they talked of “hot air.” It is true that the Supreme Court is hot air. How can a Christian woman who is married with children tell men to engage in gay associations? When we register their association, what will they be discussing? Will it be about how a man can get pregnant?"
