"content": "On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise on a point of order to seek clarification from the Chair, especially following the Prime Ministerâs exposition on the Constitution on a matter, which, in my view, is of national interest and which is generating a lot of public interest and debate. Mr. Speaker, Sir, to the best of my mind the 10th Parliament was sworn in on the 15th January, 2008. If I understand it well, it is supposed to run for five years up to 14th January, 2013. According to the new Constitution, elections must be held on the second Tuesday of August of the election year. I have even seen comments from some very senior advisors to senior people in Government, and they are very categorical that elections must be held on the 14th of August, 2012. I wish to seek a firm direction from the Chair to let this House and the people of Kenya know when the next general election will be held in this country."
