    "content": "Hon. Kang’ata said that the proceedings of court were suspended to enable him or the petitioners to present the Petition in the House, then that is a bit worrying. If the withdrawal of the suit was actually done by the petitioners without appearing to have been instigated by my colleague here, it could have been fair. Where we assist the public in withdrawing a suit in court so that the Petition is brought to the House, it is a bit worrying because we appear to be interfering with the court processes and that is an area that we need to be very careful. Hon. Speaker, if it is true that my colleague, in the process of assisting, advised the petitioners to stop the court process then it would be a bit interesting but if it was withdrawn on the motion of the petitioners, without necessarily being advised by my colleague, I think it will still be in order. The issue of strikes in universities is a very big challenge in our country. Apart from that fear that we are likely to be moving in the wrong direction, I think the Petition is, indeed, very valid and in future, as Members of the House, we should be able to guide our citizens in a manner that is not going to be seen that we are also pushing them to move in a certain direction. Thank you, Hon. Speaker."
