    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, the remarks by my learned friend, the Member for Budalang’i, have actually enriched all of us. This is because that was just giving the historical perspective and I think it is harmless. But the reality is that this matter is not being prosecuted before the House. But that does not mean that we cannot continue. We are a listening Government and we are also listening to comments. Even as we listen, we also take cognizance of the fact of judicial decisions have been made on some of these matters. Article 80 on Leadership and Integrity is part of what we are supposed to do before 26th August, and I sincerely hope that you could give the Attorney General the Floor, so that he can make further clarification, particularly with regard to making sure that the work before the Commission on Implementation of the Constitution, the Kenya Law Reform Commission and his own office is seriously undertaken to make sure that we beat the deadline. This is because, as I have repeatedly said, this House has a date with destiny with regard to the implementation of the Constitution. This House has done its best, sometimes burning, literary, the midnight oil in order to beat these deadlines. As the Leader of Government Business, I want to really congratulate and thank all hon. Members. I am sure that the remaining enabling pieces of legislation are similarly going to be treated. The Member for Gwassi was wondering whether we will have the numbers. Since all of us know that we will require a two-thirds majority sometime next week, whenever that happens, I would want to ask that all of us be here, because the consequences of failure to meet that threshold could be devastating to this House. Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir."
