    "content": "Hon. Speaker, on Standing Order No.42, the matter before us which Hon. Junet is fishing not knowing it says “notwithstanding” the names, not only from the President, but from any other institution require approval. Hon. Speaker, if you heard it, he is following the footsteps of his colleague. He is talking about a people’s president. The Constitution is very clear that the President of Kenya is elected after the IEBC gives a certificate and it is confirmed by the Supreme Court. Hon. Speaker, I said it in the 11th Parliament that there is a president and there are losers. A loser is given a title in this august House. The title is not that of a President but that of a people’s president. I represent Garissa Township. There are people there and their president is the one that they have elected who is Uhuru Kenyatta. Therefore, who is this mysterious people’s president? So, the matter is on notwithstanding Standing Order No. 42. It is very clear. Let us not play sideshows. If names come to the Speaker, we do not need to recall the House. The Executive can send names even tomorrow or next week. They can decide not to send until we come back. We are working in terms of projections and those of us who are in Government know there are appointments coming. If you are in the Opposition, then you know there are no appointments coming from your side. We are in Government. So, we know appointments will come and they will need the approval of the House in accordance with Articles 152 and 153 of the Constitution."
