    "content": "The judicial authority espoused in Article 159(1) of our Constitution derives from the people, but the Nairobi City County Assembly wants you, hon. Members, to trample on that right and authority. Governor Mike Mbuvi Sonko by means of his preliminary objection has stated that his refusal to assent to the Nairobi City County Appropriations Act of 2020, is subjudice and he will demonstrate in his preliminary objection which I ask the Speaker of the Senate to make a direction upon so that this honorable House in deference to the Juridical authority that is espoused in Article 159(2) defers that. Mr. Speaker, Sir and Hon. Members, cognizance of this very fundamental aspect, the County Assembly has affirmed that very position which His Excellency the Governor will demonstrate to you in the yellow Volume I; have annexed orders of the court showing that the proceeding is alive. His Excellency the Governor is saying there are pending proceedings implicated herein. Is it feasible for you hon. Members, to suspend and close your eyes and be an act boy – with tremendous respect – to the provisions of Stranding Order No.98(3)(c)? His Excellency the Governor will beg the Floor on a preliminary nature. By virtue of being certain, he will move this noble House to request and urge it to make a ruling on Rule 13. Rule 13 of your standing rules and Part 1 of the Fifth Schedule, grant you half an hour for the adjudication of the preliminary objection."
