    "content": "within the provisions of Article 114 of the Constitution as well as the requirements of Standing Order No.133(5) and also similarly ought not to be proceeded with. I have since also considered what Hon. (Dr.) Musimba is proposing and obviously creating such boards and authorities will involve expenditure of public funds whose budget Hon. (Dr.) Musimba has not stated where it should come from. The CS National Treasury was not consulted when the Bill went for public participation. Hon. Members, whereas I applaud the noble ideas by the two Members, whose implementation would have gone a long way in improving the management of the library services of the country, I must reiterate the need for due legal and procedural consideration by all Members when proposing amendments. Instructively, it is noted that the amendments offend the provisions of Standing Order No.133(5) which place a limitation on amendments that “propose to unreasonably or unduly expand the subject of the Bill.” Such amendments would only be proceeded with in accordance with the provisions of Article 118 of the Constitution on public participation, which has not happened, as well as Article 114(2) of the Constitution on the manner of considering a Money Bill. In this regard, Hon. Members, the cited amendments by Hon. Millie Odhiambo and Hon. (Dr.) Patrick Musimba will not be proceeded with. This includes part (c) of the proposed amendment to Clause 2 by Hon. Millie Odhiambo and all the amendments to Clause 2 by Hon. (Dr.) Patrick Musimba. Hon. Members, for avoidance of doubt, the proposed amendments for which a disclaimer under Standing Order No.133(5) has been made in today’s Order Paper will, therefore, not be proceeded with for the reasons I have stated. The House and Members are accordingly guided. I thank you."
