    "content": "Hon. Members, this matter raised considerable interest and was further deliberated upon in the House on the 2nd, 9th, 15th and 16th of November, 2011, with a number of hon. Members contributing to the point of order raised by hon. Mungatana. These Members were hon. Imanyara, hon. Rachel Shebesh; the Chairperson of the Constitutional Implementation Oversight Committee (CIOC), hon. Abdikadir; the Minister of State for Immigration and Registration of Persons, hon. Otieno Kajwang’; the Member for Gichugu, hon. Karua; the Member for Gem, hon. Jakoyo Midiwo; the Member for Ikolomani, Dr. Khalwale; I think, the hon. Njuguna; the Member for Gwassi, hon. John Mbadi and the hon. Minister, Mr. Mutula Kilonzo who responded to the points of order raised. Hon. Members, I have carefully considered the contributions by all the Members who spoke to this issue. These contributions raise the following issues that require my ruling- (i)Whether or not the processes for development and introduction of the Bill complied with Article 256 of the Constitution which provides for amendment by parliamentary initiative; (ii) whether or not there was sufficient consultation with the public and with stakeholders, including the Constitutional Implementation Oversight Committee (CIOC), prior to and following the publication of the Bill; (iii) whether or not the matter is sub judice; (iv) whether or not the Constitution permits the introduction of an amendment Bill that covers a number of subjects; (v) in the light of the foregoing issues, whether or not the Constitution of Kenya (Amendment) Bill, 2011 is admissible for First Reading."
