    "content": "This is well within the realm of possibility and probability. Standing Order No.62 gives this House the power for resurrection. It gives you, Hon. Speaker, the power for resurrection. All we need to do, as a House, is to believe that we have the power to make and change precedent. We have the power for resurrection. So, it is not a debate of whether it is possible to do what Hon. Ochieng is asking you to do. We are already very clear in our minds. It is very possible. We just need to review Standing Order No.62 and yesterday’s events. You remember that by the time Hon. Members rose on their feet to ask for a Division on Hon. Lelelit’s Bill, it was already energised by three failures of the previous Bills, which had been there, including hon. David Ochieng’s. So, this was accumulated frustration of the House which culminated in Members rising spontaneously on their feet. That feeling of frustration still remains as you heard it articulated by Hon. David Ochieng and many other Members of this House, not only inside in this House but also outside. The public are watching. They are questioning us since yesterday. They are asking us every hour what happened because the mood in the Republic of Kenya is that we must give the nation an opportunity to have full five years of this House in its activities. This House will give energy to that notion and that sentiment when we live up to our role and our abilities to give resurrection in this House."
