    "content": " I thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I have a matter which I was craving your indulgence to raise regarding the Bill which has just been read, namely, the Impeachment Procedure Bill, coming from the Senate. It is a constitutional issue that I wanted to raise for your directions at the stage where we are, so that there can be a ruling before the Question is put on that particular Bill, with your indulgence, if you permit. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I have looked at that Bill, which has come from our sister House, provision by provision, and punctuation by punctuation, including commas and full stops, and it ploughs from the Constitution addressing relevant provisions and nothing more. Where it is leaving the Constitution, it is ploughing from the County Governments Act, for members of the county executive committee. I am raising this because I have seen it in several other laws coming from the Senate. The question I am asking is whether, as a House, we can be siting to transact and even make decisions on purported Bills merely repeating constitutional provisions at all force.
