    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, before we were disturbed by the party leader of unidentified party. I needed to say a few things very fast because, I do not seem to have the time. I want to speak about just three things if you may allow. One, I want to disabuse people of the fact that there is need for a referendum in this matter. We have looked at the Constitution and inspected it thoroughly. The Constitution is very clear on what the term of the President is. The term of President is not a period of years or months; it is the block or the regular period of time that a person is in office from when he is elected to when the next person comes to power. So, it might well be that President Uhuru can be there for five years and three months or for four months less or even for six months as in a situation of emergency or war. He could even be there for seven years, but that is just one term; so, the question of one term attached to five years is not constitutionally sound. Two, there is nothing here that requires the Speaker to decide, I have listened to many people asking the Speaker to decide on something, there is nothing completely for the Speaker to decide. The Speaker is only called upon to approve a Motion. Once a Private Member’s Motion 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."
