"content": "Hon. Members, I do not think there is a matter for debate. Let me, first of all, draw your attention to the various Articles of the Constitution that Hon. Mithika Linturi stood on, requiring that I give direction. It is settled in law that under the Constitution in Article 135, a decision of the President of the Republic of Kenya in the performance of any of the functions that he is required to do under the Constitution shall depict his seal and signature. Looking at the functions conferred on the President under Article 168 with regard to the formation or setting up of a tribunal to probe, in the first instance, the Chief Justice, that function must be performed by the President himself and the decision must be communicated in a manner that shows that it has his seal and his signature. Have we seen anything that the President has done, in his seal and his signature that suggests that he has not acted in accordance with the requirements of Article 168(5)? The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
