    "content": "Bills concerning county government, is inconsistent with Articles 109(4), 110 to 113 of the Constitution and is, therefore, null and void. Hon. Members, to this end, it may be prudent that the Procedure and House Rules Committee, which is currently undertaking a review of the Standing Orders, does also undertake a review of Standing Order Nos.121 and 143 with a view to aligning them with the Constitution as guided by the court decisions. Hon. Members, finally, the Court of Appeal also made a determination on our Cross- Petition which we had filed in the High Court. You will, indeed, recall that the National Assembly had also filed a Cross-Petition in the High Court seeking among other things, the following declarations on a number of constitutional questions which are of concern to the Members of this House: 1. We had sought in the Cross-Petition a declaration that the Senate had a limited role of oversight of State and State organs, under Article 145 of the Constitution, limited to considering and determining any resolution to remove the President and the Deputy President. 2. A declaration that, to the extent that the Senate has established committees duplicating the mandate of the Committees of this House and purported to exercise oversight over matters that fall in the exclusive domain of this House, the Senate of Kenya is in violation of the Constitution."
