    "content": "I am not certain that we can come up with any solution as we speak right now, unless we give an okay to the Appropriation Act, which we all know that it is illegal, because it cannot come before DORA. The only solution is to expedite mediation and agree to follow the law. Borrowing from other jurisdictions, which are not supported by our own Constitution, will be opening a Pandora’s Box that we will never be able to close. This is an awkward moment and an interesting time for this country because we are learning. If the referendum is to be brought tomorrow, we will ask ourselves if one Appropriation Bill is good or bad for this country. We can then consider having more Appropriation Bills like the United States of America that has 12 Appropriation Bill where they have a continued resolution, which makes sure that people are paid their salaries. In Narok County, we are lucky. We probably get money from Maasai Mara, hence can continue paying salaries. Nairobi City County is also lucky, but what of the other counties? It is good that this is happening now for it will help us reason, but the solution is to follow the Constitution. I disagree with the sentiments of my dear brother. It is not true that law was made for man and not man for the law. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am confused by the solutions available to us. We must abide by the Constitution in this House. Wisdom prevailed in this House yesterday and we did not behave like ‘hooligans’ in the ‘lower’ House who threw away a clear legislation like this. The law is very clear."
