    "content": "Messrs. Mbadi, Ogindo and Ruto, yes, indeed, the House can have a resolution but the Motion of the resolution is not originated by the Chair; it is originated by a Member of the House. It is your responsibility to do it, if you have to. Secondly, the Chair cannot take this position because this matter is not seized of the House in the manner it is seized on the operationalization of the Constitution by bringing Acts or Bills to the Floor of the House that have to be debated and moved or the appointment of individuals who have to be ratified by Parliament. So because Parliament does not have that role, the Chair does not have a matter that it is legitimately seized on to give a direction or to rule on the constitutionality or unconstitutionality of this matter. So, you have the options that are available to you. The Constitution Implementation Oversight Committee (CIOC) is involved in the operationalization of the Constitution by being involved in the laws that are generated along with the Constitutional Implementation Commission (CIC) and the relevant Ministries themselves. So because this matter has come in the manner it has come, the Chair has recognized that there are issues but the Chair is not in an authoritative position to rule on that because the Chair is also bound by practice, by law and by the Constitution."
