    "content": " Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I also wish to support the amendment. As I sat here, looking at you issuing your Communication from the Chair, I could see that you were at great pains trying to define and describe what âGovernmentâ is. We are having many problems trying to interpret law in this House. We have had this impasse because of our different interpretations of the National Reconciliation and Peace Accord and the Constitution of Kenya, and yet this Parliament boasts of quite a number of lawyers. In fact, the National Reconciliation and Peace Accord was drafted by lawyers from this House. Sometimes when laws are created that tend to confuse those people that they are supposed to serve, some of our lawyers in this House are very quick to run away from taking responsibility for having crafted those laws. They start telling you things like âyou cannot read the National Reconciliation and Peace Accord in isolation of the Constitutionâ and that you should read them together. If the creators of Parliament intended laws to be as complicated as that, I am sure that they would also have dealt with the composition of the same Parliament. Maybe there would have been a rule that Parliament would only be constituted by lawyers. So, I am pleading with the learned friends in this House that, as they try to interpret these laws, they should remember that we are doing it for Kenyans. We should not be doing it for the individuals that we support and for the parties we belong to. We have wasted a whole week trying to debate one issue. Thank God we have a very able Speaker who has come out very ably today. By the way, none of us in this Chamber expected you to come up with the ruling that you have come up with today. Members on this side of the House thought that you would side with their view while the Members on the other side thought that you would side with their view. We thank God you have come up with a ruling that is going to move this country forward. As we retreat and go back to our various parties, as Mr. Omingo has said, let us try to engage and give the impression to Kenyans that we have one country and one Government. It is shameful for us, in Government and in the country, to operate as if there are two governments. For you to receive two letters from the same Government--- I do not"
