    "content": "On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I want to agree with the sentiments of Mr. Mbadi, Dr. Khalwale and Mr. Ruto. I just wanted to add this one thing. We need guidance as to whether we can debate, either through a Committee or in the House, something whose time has passed in law. In the event that the Committee can look at it, I want them to specifically look at paragraph 17 of the Sixth Schedule which says that the national government has powers to restructure the government or specifically that within five years, the national government would restructure the provincial administration. In the memorandum, there seems to be implication that Parliament is not part of the national government. That needs to be made very clear because by every indication in this Constitution, Parliament is part of the national government which is not the same thing as the executive. It also means other arms of the government."
