    "content": " Thank you very much, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I have a lot of respect for Hon. Nyikal. I have previously worked with him in the same Government. He knows I am part of the mandarins of the Government. I know he is well versed with procedure and we must thank him very much for being hawk-eyed in terms of looking at things that he thinks are not relevant for the House this morning. However, if Hon. Nyikal was careful when I tabled the Report on the Statutory Instruments (Amendment) Bill, he would have known that part of the problem that we have as the Committee on Delegated Legislation is that many statutory instruments lapsed in January. Almost over 2,000 statutory instruments have lapsed. We need to resolve that question in this House and allow the institutions to operate. The services you are requesting in your constituency may not be offered in due course because no one will be willing to give you any service as there is no law. Your sitting here to discharge functions under Article 95(2) of the Constitution to resolve issues that are of concern to the people, will not assist your people. This is one of the issues that are of concern to the people and that we seek to resolve this morning. I would like to plead with my very good friend; he is always very understanding. When reason is provided, he is a very reasonable man. I thank him. He is even smiling now. When he contributed, he was very annoyed. Now he is smiling. I thank you very much, Hon. Deputy Speaker."
