    "content": "Thank you, hon. Speaker. I think our rules of debate are very clear. Our Constitution is also very clear. The separation of powers between the Legislature and the Judiciary is respected. If you listened keenly, and I am sure you did, to the clarification sought by hon. Linturi it clearly discussed the conduct of the Chief Justice of the Republic of Kenya. Even though I did not know at what point the honeymoon between the Chief Justice and the Jubilee Government ended, I think rules of debate are rules of debate. If hon. Linturi wants us to debate the conduct of the Chief Justice – which we will be glad to do – why can he not be courageous enough and bring a substantive Motion here so that we do that? We will be glad to discuss the conduct and behavior in office of one Justice Willy Mutunga. He should not hide behind raising issues or seeking Statements which even the Leader of Majority Party cannot clarify. He has no capacity to clarify. It is only the Chief Justice who can clarify some of these issues. Hon. Speaker, I request that you rule that the matter that we are debating now is unprocedural and that we ask hon. Sakaja to put his perfect idea in a Motion so that we debate it."
