    "content": "Hon. Kaluma, the issue you have raised is, indeed, quite weighty. I wish the Serjeant-at-Arms Officer could move away. The rule applies even to the officers of the House. The Speaker should have access particularly with regard to addressing the Member who has raised an issue. Hon. Kaluma has raised a matter that, perhaps, this House needs to seriously think about. If the sum of Kshs313 million is as a result of an award which award I think may have been confirmed by the High Court and then becomes the subject – if I understood you correctly – of some appeal that is still pending, there is a real risk that enforcement or implementation of this recommendation will be in vain. This is because implementation of resolutions of the House is by the Executive arm of the Government. If the Executive arm of the Government has a court order and a decree waved at it and a resolution of the House, they will be torn in between. They will not know which one to implement and which one not to implement. But more importantly, the domain of interpreting laws, especially matters which are of contractual obligations is, in my view, exclusively in the Judiciary."
