    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, it is true. Article 95 is clear that the legislative authority is vested in this House. However, looking at the Statute Law (Miscellaneous Amendments) Bill, particularly the amendments to the Kenya Information and Communications Act, we know very well that the history of the Kenya Information and Communications Act amendments has been very controversial. Therefore, I agree with what Hon. Wamunyinyi said, because the amendment is substantive. It even comes under the Statute Law (Miscellaneous Amendments) Bill. Even the substantive committee in charge of communication – the one chaired by Hon. Jamleck Kamau – has not tabled any report concerning this matter. On the same issue of the Competition Authority and the Communications Authority, none of the two agencies is superior to the other because both of them are regulators. What Hon. Wamunyinyi said is, indeed, very important. On the AG’s advice, it is important that we isolate this issue for further consultation. Hon. Jamleck Kamau has not tabled a report about this matter."
