    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, I just want to go back to where I was. Remember we have had a matter in the Court of Appeal, which is pending and in the High Court on a very simple matter of Article 110(3), on what is concurrence. We wanted to know whether it is mandatory or whether it is an essential step. After we were heard, the judges took about three months to discuss that matter and consider it fully. I think that being the body that is vested with powers under Article 257 once the county assemblies approve the Bill, I will still plead with a little caution so that the two committees which are headed by very senior lawyers from both Houses---. In fact, in the other House, one of the Members was a Member of the Committee of Experts. Mr. Speaker, Sir, you will remember that when the issue arose, the advisory opinion that went to Supreme Court and Sen. Murkomen likes referring to it because he was a member of the taskforce. The court was using the report of the taskforce to help them interpret the Constitution. 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."
