    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, the second Statement is closer to the communication you gave regarding passage of Bills. You will recall that on 4th October this year, this House passed the Internally Displaced Persons’ Bill. Under the provisions of Article 115 of the Constitution, the procedure following the passage of any law is set out very clearly and when it goes to the President and he fails to assent to it or send it back to Parliament with proposals for amendment, it stands passed as law. It ought to have been gazetted by today but up to now, we do not know the fate of this law that this House passed and which by the operation o the Constitution should now be law and should have been published in the Kenya Gazette. Mr. Speaker, Sir, because I see the Attorney-General is here and he is the one who communicates with the President with regard Bills passed, perhaps he could shade some light on this."
