    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, in support of the two points of order that have been canvassed before you I wish to draw your attention to the provisions of the Constitution that provide for the Executive governance. Article 129(2) states as follows:- “Executive authority shall be exercised in a manner compatible with the principle of service to the people ---.” It is service to the people and that is why the Standing Orders make specific requirements on the Ministers when they are exercising their functions in the House, not only to be accountable to the people of Kenya but in order to comply with the provisions of the Constitution. This Article further says:- “…and for their well-being and benefit.” Mr. Speaker, Sir, that must be read together with Article 94(4) of the Constitution which states as follows:- “Parliament shall protect this Constitution and promote the democratic governance of the Republic.”"
