    "content": " On a point of order, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I think the issues raised by Hon. T.J. Kajwang’ were very strong. Without losing the spirit he had my feeling is that we should retain what he had whether we have interest or not. But, interest is a must for everybody who is in Parliament. Members have to contribute to issues they have researched on and are very knowledgeable about and may leave those they have not researched on. But, back to Hon. T. J. Kajwang’s argument, the Statute Law (Miscellaneous Amendments) Bill brings very substantive amendments or changes in law. The House Business Committee has indicated that it is actually ourselves who exacerbate these amendments once they arise in the form they come from Government. The trend currently of following the Statute Law (Miscellaneous Amendment) Bills, with a little bit more consciousness at the expense of the other serious businesses that we should be handling... It is not that this is not serious. This is because they are being used as conduits to bring real structural changes in law. Therefore, keeping the spirit of Hon. T.J. Kajwang’, we should have legislation that limits the extent to which these Statute Law (Miscellaneous Amendments) Bills can actually change the law. The Leader of the House should actually support that aspect. Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker."
