    "content": "Lastly, even granted that the Speaker allowed this, I am thinking about the content of the Motion that my colleague hon. A.B. Duale is about to present. The content of that Motion must be such as to be in the realm of urgent issues of national importance, which is comparable to issues you see in Standing Order No.33; these are urgent issues of national importance; again, these require the Speaker’s concurrence. If we debate this Motion, the question will be what happens to it? In my respectful submission under Standing Orders No.33, this is one of those Motions which the House will process without the Question being put. We would want guidance if this special convening--- I see that there is no precedent. The Motion before us is also not constitutional and I wonder if we, as National Assembly, have any power even to discuss it or anticipate a vote on it as such. I beg to support my friend, hon. Chris Wamalwa and stress the fact that the Deputy Speaker convened this House apparently without looking at Articles 106 and 107, and hon. Speaker should find that this convening is actually unconstitutional. I thank you so much."
