    "content": " I thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for that communication. Indeed, the founding fathers of the Constitution almost 45 years ago in exempting 1810 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES July 15, 2008 the Attorney-General from the provisions of Section 39 of the Constitution must have had regard to the many roles the Attorney-General plays under the Constitution and the laws of Kenya. Mr. Speaker, Sir, on my part, I have always taken my responsibilities to the august House seriously. Indeed, I have always notified the Speaker, through the Clerk of the National and the Leader of Government Business, of my absence. I have always endeavoured and will continue to endeavour to ensure that the business of this House is not disrupted but is, in fact, expedited. This year the first Question for me to answer is that of Mr. Ekwe Ethuro which is listed for tomorrow and I will be present to hear it. In terms of Bills, I am among the few Ministers, if any who have so far successfully moved two Bills through the First and Second Readings, namely, the Criminal Procedure Code( Amendment) Bill 2008 and the International Crimes Bill, 2008. Mr. Speaker, Sir, let me pledge to you and to the Members of this august Assembly my commitment to play my role in the discharge of immense responsibilities that has been conferred on Parliament under the Constitution."
