    "content": "Hon. Gikaria, as a legislator… The role of making law or even unmaking it has been invested in you. Please, do not go and tell other people to help you unmake law, including going to tell others, “I do not like this law” and you are in Parliament and you are the one who has been told you can make or unmake laws. So, when you go out there in the streets to seek help from somebody to unmake a law and you have the power, you are surrendering your role. Maybe you should resign from being a member of a legislative house. Perhaps, that is subject for another day when we deal with what exactly it means to enact and what it means to participate in law making. Maybe that is debate for another day. Those of you who have been following that debate will appreciate that the National Assembly enacts legislation. Maybe those who only are participants could go to seek assistance but those of you who enact… Remember you can even propose to repeal a whole Act of Parliament or delete any clauses or repeal them. So, there is no need for you to walk to some other place to go and seek assistance. You already have the power. Just make the proposition and convince your colleagues. Do not go to convince other people whatever the arm of Government you may be seeking solace from. Hon. Gikaria, that will be addressed when the business is brought back to the Floor of the House and you are at liberty to propose any changes that you think are desirable in your view and then hope to convince or persuade your colleagues. Hon. Jude Njomo, do you still want to say something on this one? I thought we had finished."
