    "content": "Standing Order No.162 provides for the custody of Bills and the process after passage of a Bill. Although, as I have indicated earlier in this Communication, no specific provisions exist in our Standing Orders on the processing of a constitutional amendment by popular initiative, I am of the view and I rule that invoking Articles 10 and 259 of the Constitution and applying Standing Order No.1 requiring the Speaker to decide all matters not expressly provided for by the Standing Orders, it is appropriate that the Speakers of Parliament correct ‘formal errors’ or oversights without changing the substance of the Bill before certification of the Bill and submission to the President. This would apply to those types of errors that the Committees found as inadvertent errors in the copies of the Bill, which were typographical in nature, and did not affect the substance of the Bill. The Senate is accordingly guided. I thank you. What is your point of order, Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr.?"
