    "content": "Mr. Kajwang): On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. The point of order is a bit fine, to the extent that the presumption is that this Parliament does not do anything that is contrary to the law and the Constitution. That is the presumption. If any matter is unconstitutional or un-statutory, then, of course, it is void. So, it would seem that to amend a Motion to say that it must be subject to the due process of law and the Constitution, is actually to say the obvious. That is because the House cannot pass any Motion or any Act of Parliament that is unconstitutional. That is the presumption. Even if we made a mistake and passed it, the court will still declare it void to the extent of that inconsistence. In fact, the proper procedure would have been to lift out those sections of the Report that you think abuse or undermine the law or the Constitution and delete them! You can plead with us to help you to delete them, instead of saying that this Motion will be passed in accordance with the Constitution or any section of the Constitution."
