Mr. Speaker, Sir, in making your ruling, I want to invite you, very politely and humbly, to the Constitution itself. The Act that my learned friend read out to you was passed by this honourable House unanimously. It was us speaking with one voice last year. When we passed it at that time, Kenya had enjoyed a Constitution negotiated in Lancaster House in conferences in 1962 and enacted by this honourable House since 1963. That document remains the basic law of this lovely country. At the time we were passing the statute that my learned friend seeks to get interpreted, that Constitution had certain sections as to what is the “Government’ and what is the “President”. Therefore, without wasting too much time, I want to read to you again, and this is in Volume IX--- Mr. Clerk, if you want to give it to the Speaker. The sections that tell us what the Executive authority of the Government is in Part 3 of the Constitution. It is headed very clearly. I wish you could give the Speaker the Constitution, Mr. Clerk, so that he can see the section that I am referring to. Part 3 deals specifically with the Executive power."
