    "content": " On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Is the Attorney-General in order to mislead the House? When this matter went to court, I was then the Counsel for Jaramogi Oginga Odinga and the others who took the matter there. I was led by a Senior Counsel, Mr. Nowrojee. This matter was canvassed very well before Justice Mbaluto. In fact, I am very aggrieved that Justice Mbaluto is not on the Bench now. The fact of the matter is that the campaign period was reduced to a term which would be determined by the electoral commission. It could even be two days. That was the fallacy. That was why we went to court. I owe it to Justice Mbaluto; he made a contribution to this country. So, could the Attorney-General withdraw the remarks he has made? It is sad that he can say that the Cabinet at that time reduced the campaign period to two days. That was what it meant. “Not less than 21 days” actually means any day before you reach the 21st day. That was what we canvassed, and Justice Mbaluto ruled on it and said it was wrong to change that rule. The Attorney-General is my friend, but on this one, he must be reminded that he hurts Kenyans. Justice Mbaluto corrected the record, and we were very happy with the judgment."
