    "content": " By an Act of Parliament, hon. Michuki. That is what it says. “Except where the context otherwise requires, any powers conferred upon Parliament by this Constitution to establish, provide for or prescribe any matter or thing shall be exercisable by Act of Parliament.” We passed Section 8 of the Anti-Corruption law and we established Third Schedule. In Section 8, we said that for an appointment, one requires recommendation from the Board. When hon. Abdikadir says that these organizations are unanimous--- I do not want to join a crowd. At that point in time under Section 8, we said that the Board recommends, Parliament approves and the President appoints. When we were dealing with the First Schedule, we said that the appointing authority, who is the President, may reappoint any person who has served as a Director or in those other positions. I dare say, without fear of contradiction, I am even ready to go to the House of Lords, and will tell the Law Lords that President Kibaki was right. Therefore, I urge anyone who differs with President Kibaki that we go and meet in the House of Lords or the Senate and interpret these laws. Let me ask something."
