    "content": "Hon. Speaker, I am going to make my point of order. I am not excited. I just want to raise my issue, I beg you. The issues raised by hon. Kajwang’ and hon. Nyikal are pertinent and within the rules of this House. Last week, hon. Members from this side of the House did raise constitutional issues in the Bill that we are supposed to bring before the House. I would have liked to listen to your views about the issues we raised. Secondly, on the reports of committees, I know how you deal with committees’ amendments and individual Members’ amendments. I was here until ten o’clock last night, waiting for those committees’ amendments, but I never saw them. I went home, searched the net, but I never saw the amendments. It is within our rules that, before we debate, and to avoid--- I think the Leader of Majority Party has done something that we ought to thank him for; he has tried to bridge the gap and to bring people together to look at the issues. Even if you look at them, most of the issues that may make somebody scared are proposals from the bi-partisan team. We do not know what they are. All we are asking you is to rule on the constitutional questions; we are also asking you to give us time."
