    "content": "Hon. Midiwo, you appear to be re-opening some interesting discussion, but let me say that I am fully aware of the ruling by hon. Marende dated 10th February, 2011 as well as an earlier one of October 2008. Both of them were made pursuant to requests for clarification and guidance from hon. Aluoch Olago. I am fully alive to those rulings, but not everybody remembers these things. That is because many people out there seem to have either momentary lapses of memory so that when we are merely re-stating what has been said in the past, they seem to think that we are recreating or opening new ground. But the discourse about the principle of separation of powers has a long history. It is very old and people need to go into it and understand that, yes, we are one Government. Separation of power is a thin line, but there is need for the three arms to operate independently, while still being inter-dependent. It is just like what the Constitution dictates with regard to the devolved governments, operations and relations with the national Government. But I think there is need to, as you say, constantly re-state our position as Parliament. Hon. A.B. Duale, you want to respond or say something."
