Irungu Kang’ata, because he rose to move a Motion and he did not sign that report. Some of these things are very interesting. I will let that slide. I am quite happy with the work that this Senate did. 14 Bills were assented to by the President. That is good work for this Senate. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, on the issue of the BBI, I want to be very clear that when we worked as “ Team Kenya ” and eventually as 12 wise men and a lady who came together to give this country a direction, one of the things that we are trying to defend is Article 203 of the Constitution. During this time, when we are going on recess, it will give us an opportunity to explain to our constituents and particularly myself, why I have serious reservation with the Constitution Amendment Bill. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, Article 203 of the Constitution relates to the issues of the Consolidated Fund. The amendments which are being proposed by the Constitution Amendment Bill will negate all the gains that we made in this House fighting for the revenue formula. That is one of biggest beefs with this Constitution Amendment Bill. 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."
