    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I would like to tell the Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Finance, Planning and Trade that I understand where he is coming from. Unfortunately, we have laws which must be followed. The Constitution is very clear on this matter. As Hon. Dalmas Otieno said, it is a clear conflict between the Executive and the Legislature. The only way it can be cured is through legislation of new laws that will take care of the problem. It starts right now. The law is clear that once the President receives the Bill, if he has any issues in it, he will give some reservations to this House. When the reservations come to this House, they are read by the Speaker to the entire House. After they are read out and even before they are put on the Order Paper, the HBC which comprises Hon. Members from both sides of the House will look at them and set the day for discussion. We did this as the HBC. Therefore, on this Bill, we do not seem to have a choice, unless we get the two-thirds majority."
