    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I would like to support the amendment by hon. Waiganjo. He speaks to the spirit of what law making ought to be and should be. If you look at Section 8(a)(i), the amendment seeks to interrupt the Constitution in that section. It reads in part that:- “The Section shall mean that the Inspector-General shall be responsible for all matters relating to the command---” This particular amendment seeks to interrupt a constitutional provision in an amendment of a statute. I really think that without giving it so much attention, I want to support the fact that should we pass this as Parliament, it will be going against the spirit of Article 246 and I am hoping that the Chairman does understand and appreciate that we will be contravening Article 246. This sort of amendment should not be left to pass. I support the amendment with that kind of consideration."
