    "content": "Thank you for giving me this chance to contribute to this very important Motion. While you were away, we debated this Bill. The concern of most Members of the National Assembly is that out of the three functions of Members of the National Assembly which are to oversee the Executive, represent the people and legislate or make laws, the role of legislation is being eroded by the Executive. There is the Committee on Finance, Planning and Trade headed by Hon. Benjamin Langat with 28 Members, who sat and came up with a very good Bill. The role of legislation belongs to the National Assembly. This Committee sat, conducted research and came up with a very good piece of legislation. Though we do not deny that the President has a role to play by assenting to the Bill, and he can bring the Bill with reservations, the feeling of the Members of the National Assembly is that our role of legislation has been ceded to the Executive."
