Murkomen","speaker_title":"","speaker":{"id":440,"legal_name":"Onesimus Kipchumba Murkomen","slug":"kipchumba-murkomen"},"content":"Mr. Speaker, Sir, I do not refuse the argument by Sen. Orengo that the Bill from the National Assembly says that on delimitation of boundaries the National Assembly should approve. However, the Constitution is clear that neither the National Assembly nor the Senate has a role in approval of electoral units. My argument is that the Senior Counsel is wrong in law, the Constitution and argument when he says that since the National Assembly is trying to abrogate itself unconstitutionally on a responsibility that is not given to them by the Constitution, we should preside over the House and also abrogate ourselves such a responsibility, which is unconstitutional. That is why I read Article 89 of the Constitution."}
