    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, the matter before us is as clear as day and night. Article 115(1) to 115(6) of the Constitution with the subheading “Presidential Assent and Referral,” gives us all the scenarios. So, there is nothing unconstitutional. Secondly, when the Speaker says from the Chair that he has received a Memorandum from the President, it takes the House three weeks to discuss it. The function of the Whips is to read the Memorandum of the President and rally their troops. If they are very few, you can ask another group to donate some of its Members. If you attain the 232 Members, then you can disagree with His Excellency the President. Finally, this goes to my good friend, Hon. Ochieng, the process is well in the spirit and the letter of the Constitution. Both Houses of Parliament have the legislative authority. Once the President assents to any law, it is the function of the Judiciary either to annul it in totality or piecemeal. So, as we pass laws here, including this one, anybody who is in this House, or 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."
