This law being amended here is the Interpretations and General Provisions Act. I would like to persuade my colleagues, particularly my immediate predecessor hon. Karua. She knows very well what this means. It is purely a definition law. It actually confers no responsibility or power beyond that which already exists. It is a definition for clarity. A good law requires clarity. I would urge, with utmost respect to my colleagues, to bear in mind that this is our Interpretation and General Provisions Act."}
