    "content": "Let me now turn to the question of the implications of what Dr. Khalwale referred to as \"the Executive defying or ignoring the Motion of censure and vote of no confidence\" in Mr. Kimunya as Minister of the Government of Kenya. This is, probably, at the core of the matters raised by Dr. Khalwale. It is a question that has vexed legislatures in other jurisdictions as well. In the Australian House of Representatives, if a Motion of censure or of no confidence in a Minister were successful, and its grounds were directly related to Government policy, the question of the Minister or the Government to continue holding office becomes one for the Prime Minister to decide. If the grounds relate to the Minister's administration of his or her Ministry, or sickness or otherwise to hold ministerial office, the Government need not necessarily accept full responsibility for the matter, and may opt to leave the question of resignation to the particular Minister to reckon with his or her conscience, or to the Prime Minister to appease the House and satisfy its sense of justice. In the Senate of the Australian Legislature on the hand, the passage of a censure Motion against a Minister will appear to have no substantive effect even though, depending on the circumstances, it may contribute to the pressures leading to a Minister's resignation or his/her dismissal."
