    "content": "Hon. Deputy Speaker, first of all, I just want to say it is not constitutional. It is actually unconstitutional for anybody to deny any hon. Member or even members of the public to visit any part of the country. This is because that is provided for in law and in the Constitution. Therefore, if anybody attempted to prevent the three hon. Members from visiting Maralal, I think it is not legal and it is unconstitutional. Hon. Deputy Speaker, the tradition in this House has been that when a statement is read out and the hon. Member is not satisfied, the matter is referred back to the Committee. The Cabinet Secretary is called to come and do a proper and comprehensive clarification on this. We have done this many times and I know the hon. Member, my good friend, Christopher Nakuleu, has actually asked these questions on several occasions. But the response has been interfered with by recess. Every time he asks this question, the recess approaches. Therefore, this Statement ends up being postponed. Therefore, I want to confirm first, like we did before we went for recess, we had four statements. One was for hon. Kolele of Laikipia, hon. Ndegwa on somebody who was killed in Embakasi and the hon. Members of Parliament from Marsabit on the issue The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
