    "content": " Mr. Deputy Speaker, we respect the institution of the Speaker with a lot of fear. I appreciate your magnanimity in terms of agreeing that this debate should be as free as possible. However, my concern is the point of the question of a decision. Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. argued the case of Hon. Abu Chiaba. We were with him in my earlier law career, but I was too junior. The argument we made that time was that Kibaki versus Moi’s case was made per incurium . We were looking for a way to run away from Kibaki versus Moi. We argued that nobody brought to the attention of the Court of Appeal then that there was a certain provision of the law that you can vary your own decision if it was made per incurium. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, based on the arguments we will have here, I hope that you will vary your own decision because our colleagues here could point to certain issues and you might say that the decision was made without looking at other Standing Orders. Lastly, we cannot run away from the determination as to whether Parliament can be injuncted. I cannot remember which day, but Sen. Orengo was in this House when we were arguing and he ran away before your ruling. Now today---"
