    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, first, I would like to thank the Attorney-General for acceding to the demands of some sections of this House. However, the Attorney- General must also appreciate that some of the amendments that he has removed now were also trying to address some problems – “historical injustices” in his own words. I have a responsibility to confirm that I am one of those ones who have been taken to court for performing my duty in this House and in this institution. The purpose of some of those provisions was actually to enhance the Office of the Speaker as one branch of the Government of the Republic of Kenya. While I agree with his desire to do what he wants to do, given the fact that hon. Mbadi has been hunting him like a rabbit, he should also take into account that historical injustice---. He should also promise this House that the Government has an equal responsibility to ensure that some of us who perform particular tasks--- The Front Bench, including hon. Mbadi can confirm that only this afternoon, we have passed two Bills by playing that role. Is that something that the Front-bench wants us to wish away with the hon. Mbadi? I want to make an appeal that the Attorney-General is not only leaving this matter out of this Statute Law (Miscellaneous Amendments) Bill but to also make sure that it goes to its logical conclusion by engaging the relevant bodies that he intends to and that is a personal undertaking on his part."
