    "content": "Whether those matters were dealt with by the county assembly in the first instance or not, this House needs not to deal with a matter if it has been dealt with or touched by the county assembly. That is the clarification that needs to emerge from the decision of the Supreme Court in Petition No.27 of 2019. Last week, I undertook to share a legal opinion with the Senate that points to the law and the comparative powers of the Senate here and elsewhere; on how the Senate exercises its power. This is with specific reference under Article 96(3). That will point to the direction that the Supreme Court did not treat that question very well. It tends to limit the powers of this House, yet the Constitution confers unlimited powers on the question of oversight. I beg to support."
