"content": "On a point of order, Hon. Speaker. I have been sitting here wondering what Hon. Jakoyo Midiwo is raising. If he had cared to read newspapers which I hope he does, he should know that the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs has already filed a report. We conducted public hearings and we have a report that is duly filed. Hon. Speaker as you know, anyone can bring any Bill to this House. Article 117(1) of the Constitution is very clear. It says: “There shall be freedom of speech and debate in Parliament.” It is his right to oppose but he has no right to say that a Bill cannot be debated. In fact, you cannot rule me out of order for bringing the business of the people of Ainabkoi Constituency to be debated in this House. That is the reason I represent them. So, it is incumbent upon Hon. Midiwo to convince us to reject this Bill. It is not in his stead to prevent us to debate the Bill. 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."
