    "content": " On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. With respect, I seek guidance from the Chair. The submissions by the hon. Muturi, the Whip of the Opposition, and myself are suggesting that the Motion is wrongly before the House. This Motion is making an urging which is illegal. Parliament does not ratify amendments to the Treaty of the East African Community, and we have read the operative, law which says that the Attorney-General should notify Parliament of amendments. Therefore, you cannot ask Parliament to pass a law which asks the Government to do things it is not supposed to do in law. So, I wanted the guidance of the Chair on your reading of the provisions of the law and the pleadings of this Motion."
