No congregation of Kenyan subjects who will bring in a Petition through a Member of Parliament or even the High Court of this country or the Court of Appeal can dictate or regulate Parliament on how it should conduct its business. If you acquaint yourself with Section 56 of the Constitution of the country it states:- \"(1) Subject to this Constitution, the National Assembly may- (a) make standing orders regulating the procedure of the Assembly (including in particular orders for the orderly conduct of proceedings); 2384 (b) subject to standing orders made under paragraph (a), establish committees in such manner and for such general or special purposes as it thinks fit, and regulate the procedure of any committee so established. (2) Subject to this Constitution, the National Assembly may act notwithstanding a vacancy in its membership (including a vacancy not filled when the Assembly first meets after a general election), and the presence or participation of a person not entitled to be present at or to participate in the proceedings of the Assembly shall not invalidate those proceedings.\" Hon. Members, in the circumstances the Order Paper is prepared, Parliament will transact its business in accordance with parliamentary procedure, the Standing Orders and the way the business of the House was arranged by the House Business Committee."
