    "content": "Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I agree with what the Leader of the Majority Party had said. I also support what hon. Serut has just said. The Constitution is very clear. It says that in the absence of the President, the person who takes over is the Deputy President. In the unfortunate circumstances where the President and the Deputy President are incapacitated for any reason, it is the Speaker of the National Assembly. That is outlined in the Constitution. Therefore, it is important, looking at (c), to note that you cannot say ‘the Speakers of Parliament’. At one time, I had an opportunity to go to Lagos, Nigeria, with both the Speakers; of the National Assembly and the Senate. It was chaotic. I remember I was with you. So, it is important that we must remove this anarchy and confusion and put the National Assembly Speaker at number three on the pecking order, as provided for in the Constitution.
