    "content": "I am still not satisfied with your direction on Standing Order No.64 because this is a House of records and procedures. This matter is so critical to the issues of counties. We are investigating billions of shillings that was used across 47 counties and Kenyans did not get value for money. With all due respect, I would request that since this matter will come up for voting and I had an amendment, it will influence the way I will vote. Is it too hard and overwhelming to give us a ruling which is substantive, so that when we eventually vote, I can make a decision based on the ruling under Standing Order No.64. That is just basically because I have heard you have ruled on the matter of Sen. Cheruiyot, but you have not ruled on my amendment. For your information, I brought this matter before your office yesterday. If it has not come to your attention by now, I do not know because your officers are the ones that have been approving from the inception stages up to the time it came to your attention. I agree with the findings of this Committee, but I do not agree with the recommendations. If you tell us take it to EACC or DCI, you are giving them an open cheque to harass ordinary Kenyans by telling them to write statements. I wish you would give us a substantive ruling so that it guides us in future when we want to amend a Motion. This is not the first time we are amending a Motion. We amended the one on Revenue Formula and you allowed it. With all due respect, kindly give us the proper direction on this matter to allow us to be able to rely on these issues in future. I thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir."
