"content": " Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would have thought that hon. Ruto, being a Member of very long standing in this House, is aware that the Attorney-General is a draftsman and that Bills are originated by the Ministries themselves. In terms of the constitutional provision that the hon. Member has referred to, there are five other organs that are involved in this process, including the public. There is no way that the Attorney-General, as an Office, can in any way--- Hon. Rutoâs own Committee is a key organ that must look at these Bills before the Attorney-General takes any personal responsibility. Be that as it may, as I was saying before the hon. Member sought to inform me, this is the most complicated area of Kenyan law. The law on land has been evolving since 1897. There are over 100 statutes that touch on land. We should give ourselves time to exhaustively examine the Bills that have been so ably generated by the organs of this House. Therefore, I support the Motion."
