    "content": "This is because they give you instructions to act for them, but you will never get them to get further instructions. However, I want the country to know that I am doing this for the Senate pro bono, without being paid any fees. Mr. Speaker, Sir, you will confirm to the House that I wanted us to move together. I had requested the Speaker to call for a Kamkunji yesterday, so that I report back to the House the progress that we had made in trying to have this matter settled out of court. As Sen. Orengo has said, we have actually had a partial discussion. This is because we have not agreed on issues on Articles 109 and 114 of the Constitution on Money Bills. We have made some progress on Article 110. I can tell you that there is a very good offer just coming from the Speaker of the National Assembly, including a proposal that we explore amending the Standing Orders of the National Assembly and the Senate to allow for co-sponsorship of Bills, so that we do not have a situation where Bills, like the one that was sponsored by Sen. Kasanga--- The Mental Health Bill has very good provisions, but it was knocked down on account of it being a Money Bill. I want to urge the House to trust the Senator for Nyamira, who is a Senior Counsel and a former Chair of the Law Society of Kenya (LSK) to offer able representation. However, Mr. Speaker, Sir, you can give direction to the House as to when we will have a Kamkunji, so that we report to the House on the progress we are making. I agree with Sen. Kang’ata, the Whip from the Majority side that we need to report back to our clients and then they give us authority to enter into consent. That, I fully agree. I thank you."
