    "content": "Remind them when you meet them again that Parliament will always work conscientiously. Parliament will always work in the interest of people and there is no day Parliament will try to kill the people of this country. We will always work to ensure that the people of this country are protected. The courts cannot purport to want to protect the people. That is not their role. Their role is to interpret the law; to arbitrate. They are discussing issues that concern our people, deciding on how this country belongs to this Parliament and that is so because of the Constitution. As a lawyer, it pains me so much that lawyers go on television to misrepresent the law. We were discussing the Law Society of Kenya (LSK) Act yesterday and today and the first objective of the LSK is to help this country in guiding how law is implemented and enforced yet a lawyer goes on television to say that the Senate cannot summon a governor. It is shameful and it becomes more painful when a chairman of a commission, the Commission for the Implementation of the Constitution (CIC) goes there to misguide the country and whip emotions. We must put our feet down as an Assembly and say that we will work regardless of what someone thinks."
