    "content": "I got concerned with what was raised before us this evening; that a court can stop this House from deliberating and making laws. At the outset, I find it very difficult to believe that someone out there who has been given an opportunity by the provisions of the law and the Standing Orders of this House to come willingly and provide memorandum or present themselves in person and present whatever issue they consider important before a matter of this nature is brought before us, find it easier to go to court to stop this august House from doing its duty. The powers and privileges that have been bestowed on us by Kenyans and by the Constitution to make laws must be guarded. Let those who think that whatever that is passed is unconstitutional challenge it once it has become a law. Now that we still have a window for others who have input to make to this Bill, let them try their best before we pass it as a law."
