    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, yes, I want to respond to it. My learned junior is very quickly catching up because in Parliament, if you do not know how to get in through points of order--- He has found a perfect way of trying to defend his President and Deputy because he missed the opportunity. So, I want to congratulate him. While congratulating him for using his Standing Orders and law well, I want to confirm to the House that the decision was taken yesterday and you know the parliamentary process takes a while. So, I am hopeful that if Parliament finalizes it, I will proceed. I am told that my passport has gone to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs; you know we are very important persons. Once it goes to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and comes back, I will travel. Otherwise, I was concluding by saying that if you look at Article 229, perhaps, the office of the Speaker should give us direction. This is a clear violation of the Constitution. If you have a violation of the Constitution, and, as a Committee of the House, you sit down and discuss issues that are clearly a violation of the Constitution, what should we do? Should the committee still consider these reports? Is the committee sitting in violation of the Constitution? I am sure a Kenyan can go to court and raise issues about this; as a House, are we in order to be sitting in direct violation of Article 229 of the Constitution? I support."
