    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, Dr. Kituyi is wrong in his interpretation of the law. We should look at the Treaty and not the Vienna Convention or the Constitution of Kenya. When a country enters into a Treaty, it should liken the East African Community to the constitution of the member states. It is the content, provisions, articles of the Treaty that we should look at in seeking to interpret the issue that Dr. Kituyi is interpreting here. Even if Section 9 was to be interpreted in the manner in which Dr. Kituyi is seeking to interpret, that article would be in head on collision with article 150(6) and Article 152. That is what will prevail and not Section 9. I do not give Section 9 the interpretation that the Minister is giving it. The Treaty requires ratification. Why did the Government bring the original Treaty to this House for ratification."
