    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Hon. Ouda is my friend and I have no doubt he represents the people of Kisumu Central, but on this I must disagree with him. This is one of the petitions that I doubt we should commit to the committee. While there is a right to bring any petition, this is a petition that invites interpretation of the Constitution on a matter that is not before this House. To that extent, the petition is unconstitutional. It is not only unconstitutional, because that is a preserve, in its original jurisdiction, of the High Court under Article 165, the petition goes beyond the question of presidency and deputy presidency. My friend Ouda has roped in all the governors and their deputies and seeks an interpretation that all the deputy governors are also dis-entitled to run for whatever reason. I urge that this petition be killed right here, right now."
