    "content": "However, two wrongs do not make a right. I believe Hon. Limo is raising a very pertinent point. There is no scenario, given all the rulings you have given in the last four years. In fact, I have heard Hon. Duale call himself Leader of Government Business. How wrong could it be? Which government? This House does not have a leader of government business. That must be expunged from our records because he is not saying the right thing. He is giving himself powers that can only belong to the Committee of Hon. Mutava Musyimi or that of Hon. Benjamin Langat. Those powers do not belong to any of the rest of us. The Leader of Majority Party has said exactly what happened. But what he has brought, purporting to have been recommitted, is not what we recommitted. What we recommitted is the Committee proposal. That is the rightful position in law. Instead of wasting so much time, the only thing you can find is that, that proposal by Hon. Duale is misplaced. Those proposals ought to have come from the Committee after a discussion with the CS for the National Treasury. If they did not, it would be wrong for the Chair to allow that precedent. Going into the future, we will have gone back to the position where we were before this Constitution. So I beg you to make the right ruling because it is a matter of law. I like his proposals, but liking them and being lawful are two different things. I thank you, Hon. Speaker."
