    "content": "Hon. Deputy Speaker, with your indulgence, I want you to guide the House. This afternoon we are breaking our own Standing Orders. Hon. Mbadi should know that we are at Order No.11 which is a different Motion. However, having said that, for record purposes, this is not the first Bill that has come to this House. Bills go through a conveyor belt before they reach the House. Constitutionally, procedurally, a Bill, once it is subjected to the stakeholders, the Kenya Law Reform Commission and others such as the Commission on Implementation of the Constitution (CIC), it goes to the Cabinet. When it comes here, after the First Reading as we have done today, it goes to the Departmental Committee where hon. Members can appear and raise issues. When you say that a Bill of this nature is unconstitutional, I have raised it here that this amendment is in conformity with Article 246(2)(b) and (c). You cannot stand here and say that this Bill is unconstitutional. Give us the provisions! Let us respect the law and the procedure. Now we are at Order No.11. My dear colleagues, let us respect the dignity of the House. Let us respect our own laws. If we break our own laws then where are we heading?"
