    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. Pursuant to Standing Order No.43(1), I wish to make a general Statement regarding the ongoing court case at the High Court with regard to the NGCDF Act, 2015. In the recent past, a civil society group filed Petition No.178 of 2016, Case No.14 under Justice Onguto whose hearing is ongoing. Further, the matter was deliberated today, Tuesday, 21st June, 2016 at a meeting of the Members of Parliament in the main dining room. It was resolved that the Members present themselves at the court to be enjoined in the case. Indeed, some Members of Parliament including myself attended the court and two constituencies namely Kikuyu and Kasarani were enjoined as parties to this case. This matter was heard today and adjourned for further hearing on Monday, 27th June, 2016. Hon. Deputy Speaker this is, therefore, to request Members to ask the remaining constituencies to be enjoined so that they participate in the case. Thank you."
