    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I stand to seek Ministerial Statements on two issues. One from you and, possibly, the other one from the Prime Minister. Under Section 39 of the Kenya Constitution, any hon. Member missing sittings of the House for eight consecutive times automatically loses his or her seat in this House. I would like to know whether those provisions apply to the Office of the Attorney-General and, if they do, why the Attorney-General does not sit in this House to answer Questions that are addressed to his office! If, under the provisions of Section 39 he has the President's permission to be away, what is the procedure of communicating that to the House, so that we can know when to address Questions to the Office of the Attorney- General? ROLE OF GOVERNMENT SPOKESMAN REGARDING PARLIAMENTARY BUSINESS The second Ministerial Statement that I seek arises directly out of the Prime-Minister's Statement last week. After he gave his Ministerial Statement, a Government civil servant, I think in the Office of the President, Dr. Alfred Mutua, purported to explain what the Prime Minister was stating with regard to the Statement to this House that the Minister for Finance had resigned. Does the Prime Minister's Ministerial Statement require further clarification from the Director of Information in the President's Office?"
