"content": "Hon. Speaker, we need to inform the nation and the Executive in particular that if there is a contradiction in law, the body to interpret the law is the court. So, they cannot be calling you to State House or otherwise or anywhere, to try to tell you that they are uncomfortable. They may be uncomfortable, there are so many parts of our laws that we are uncomfortable with but the body to stop this House or declare anything unconstitutional is the court. There must be a resolution to undo our Standing Orders. That way, we will be doing our Business the right way. It is important that we must know that in the past, Cabinet Secretaries, the former Ministers or Permanent Secretaries used to take money to the powerful. Now, we want to have these Tuesday meetings. You must also thank God because it was putting too much on your plate. We will get them here tomorrow, next week or any other time, if they try to dip their fingers in the holes that do not belong to them. We must interrogate these people on why they are happy. Let me thank the Cabinet Secretary, Charity Ngilu, for having been brave because she knows the role of Parliament."
