    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I join my colleagues in congratulating you for the ruling you have given today. It goes to the many history books that it has formal precedent. Of course, having known you in various discourse, especially in the academic world, I know that you will be quoted from the length and breadth of the globe, as you have espoused the legal wisdom that will guide many decisions that will be made. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I thank you because you have given life and breath to the doctrine of separation of power. This shows the way; that you are even assisting other organs or independent arms of Government – like the Legislature, the Judiciary and the Executive – that it is very important to respect the doctrine of separation of power. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, you have allowed ordinary Kenyans to learn from this historic ruling that you have made today. As the Chairperson of the Committee on Justice, Legal Affairs and Human Rights, I want to be on the HANSARD for being amongst the people that are proud of you for making a statement that will be heavily borrowed by various organs that will make decisions in the near future. My colleagues have spoken about our county assemblies which are in legal quagmire. They do not know want to do because there are many court interferences and injunctions that are happening here and there. I hope that we will discuss these issues with the CAF - the Speakers’ Forum, that was formerly chaired by the Speaker of Kajiado County Assembly and is now chaired by the Speaker of Nyandarua County. I wish my good friend, Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr., a happy birthday. As he discusses the future of legislative conferences in the near future, he should build the capacity of our county assemblies on these monumental discussions so that they can fast- track and do their work seamlessly as the primary oversight bodies at the grassroots level. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I thank you and wish you well. I have always said that your future is bright. I hope that you will join me in wishing the Senator for Makueni, Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr., a happy 44th birthday. I hope that he will grow in wisdom and stature."
