    "content": "indeed this position will be as important, Kenyans will have to have a say on it by way of a referendum. Why straddle a very important consideration in enactment of this office, Hon. Speaker? So even as you retreat to come up with an in-depth ruling, as you have always done before, let us try to look at the participation of Kenyans in infusing this office into law. Otherwise, we were very embarrassed, as a House, by the decision of our courts, and I do not want this House to be always subjected to embarrassment each time we create laws here. Hon. Speaker, we do not make laws in vain and, therefore, let us go deep and look into this. I know there are people who campaigned for UDA or Kenya Kwanza by extension, and are angling for jobs. They are very desperate to have something in their name. But let us do things according to the dictates of our laws, so as not to overreach and hence face embarrassment in our courts of law. I thank you for the opportunity."
