President can be challenged. I am happy that we, as Parliament, have made a decision to proceed to the High Court to challenge the advice that he has given to the President.

Finally, when we hold positions of responsibility, we must always warn ourselves not to act in vain. There is no end to Article 261 (6) of the Constitution. If Parliament is dissolved today, and we come back and do not attain the Two-thirds Gender Rule, it will be dissolved again. This will be a circus. I propose that as we go to the BBI, we do a comprehensive review on the Article dealing with gender, so that we do not create problems for the future generations.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise to second the request by my good friend, the Senator for Narok. If you go to social media forums, this House is being hit left, right and centre. We cannot pretend that we have more important business to discuss than to decide on this issue of revenue allocation to counties. I want to request that in the best interests of this country, we should adjourn now; go out to a Kamukunji and get a brief from the 12 Committee Members. If we agree or disagree, we will come back to the House, vote and bring ...

Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. When the people of the county of Nyamira learnt that they were about to lose Kshs545 million from the allocation, there was sadness and grief. There is joy and celebrations in Nyamira County today because we have saved that county from losing Kshs545 million. On top of that, we have added Nyamira County Kshs324 million. Madam Temporary Speaker, these could never have been possible without the support that we received from Team Kenya, and more so, my seven brothers, namely, Sen. Murkomen, Sen. Sakaja, Sen. (Dr.) Kabaka, Sen. Malalah, Sen. Linturi, Sen. Cheruiyot and Sen. ...

Some of us felt orphaned. We were abandoned by our neighbouring counties. We once thought that we will never win the battle without our neighbours. However, our seven brothers came in and lived with the biblical verse that says, “Love your neighbour as you love yourself.” They came to the rescue of Nyamira and the larger Gusii region. Madam Temporary Speaker, as at that time, the only region that was gaining in the entire Gusii region was Kisii County that was going to get Kshs226 million.

Asante sana, Bw. Spika wa Muda. Ninaunga Sen. Wetangula kwamba Mkuu wa Sheria ana jukumu la kueleza Rais kwamba Kipengele 131 cha Katiba ya Kenya kinasema kwamba Rais sharti aheshimu na aitetee Katiba ya Kenya. Huwezi kupitisha nakala ambayo inaenda kinyume na sheria iliyopitishwa na Bunge. Kipengele cha Pili cha Katiba kinasema kwamba Katiba ya Kenya na sheria ambazo zimepitishwa na Bunge ndizo zinatoa mwongozo na mwelekeo wa kiongozi wetu taifa kuliongoza taifa hili.

Bw. Spika wa Muda, imefika wakati ambapo tunahitaji kumuita Mkuu wa Sheria aje hapa Bungeni atueleze kama ameshindwa kutekeleza jukumu amepewa na Katiba ya taifa letu. Hii ni kwa sababu hatutaki Mkuu wa Sheria ambaye anataka kumuaibisha kiongozi wa taifa ambaye anataka kuwaunganisha Wakenya na kuonyesha kwamba Kenya ni nchi ambayo inaheshimu mwongozo wa kikatiba na sheria ambayo zimewekwa.

Ninamshukuru Sen. Faki kwa kuleta jambo hili katika Bunge la Seneti. Ninaomba kuwa wale ambao watashughulikia jambo hili wahakikishe kwamba kama ni Mkuu wa Sheria ndiye anampotosha Rais wa taifa ni sharti sisi kama wanasheria tuelezwe kinagaubaga kwamba makosa yanatoka katika ofisi ya Mkuu wa Sheria.
