    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I also join you in welcoming back the Senate Leader of Majority. We expressed our sympathies in Kitui when the accident occurred. I hope you will still be back to playing football. I support this Statement that has been requested by the distinguished Senator. This request is coming at a very important day when the Supreme Court of the United Kingdom has rendered a very important decision. I know why I am relating it to the question that has been put forward by the distinguished Sen. Halake, it is that sometimes, it is lost on us how important Parliament is. The court in the United Kingdom has rendered a decision which I will table in relation to the question that is being asked and I will show why I am relating it to what I am saying. In the last six months, parliamentary democracy has been under threat. That is why we are in the Supreme and High Courts. Unlike Kenya, where the courts are dilly dallying over this matter, within a space of two weeks, from when the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom prorogued Parliament, the matter has gone to the High Court of Scotland, in Wales and in England and the Supreme Court has rendered a unanimous decision of 11 judges. The last sitting of the Supreme Court was last Friday. Within five days, they have rendered a decision. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
