    "content": "Well spoken! The hon. Millie Odhiambo, the only correction is that the Speaker is not shying away. The Speaker would want to encourage every Member to look at all the documents that you have been given, starting from your Standing Orders and Speaker’s Rules so that you can understand what this pecking order is and what this ranking order is. It is only fair that way because I can see that it is obvious that a number of us have not read them so that what the hon. Millie Odhiambo is saying, I thought, should not even be news to us in the Second Session of the Eleventh Parliament. I think I would want to encourage ourselves to refresh. Just go through the various booklets that were supplied to each Member, hopefully, when you joined Parliament and you will clearly understand that what the hon. Millie Odhiambo is saying is not new. Indeed, a departure would mean that then we want to be an island in the parliamentary democracies that we know of in the world; both the ones with the premiership and the ones with the presidential systems. So, I do not even think that it is new and I am sure if Members have read through what hon. Millie Odhiambo has explained, it should not be agitating anyone of us. So, please, I want to discourage that we should get agitated by that contribution so that hon. Bii can speak but, please, be brief. There are still two others before we go to the other business. There are three Private Members’ Bills and I thought, perhaps, we could spend more time debating those ones because I am sure they have far-reaching implications on the people who you represent."
