    "content": "(Amendment) Regulations, 2023. It has since come to our attention that a court case has been filed by the Law Society of Kenya (LSK). The petitioners have obtained a stay order against Parliament and the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA). Therefore, it has since become subjudice to discuss this matter under Standing Order 89. Hon. Temporary Speaker, as you know, it will be superfluous if the House passes this Motion when an active case is ongoing in court and there are stay orders. This House cannot act in vain. We have this restraining principle between the Legislature and the Judiciary. When a matter is pending before the court and orders have been granted, the Legislature always prefers for that matter to be concluded in court before it pronounces itself through such a Motion. In that regard, I wish to withdraw this Motion, pursuant to Standing Order 51 as read together with Standing Order 89 on sub judice. I thank you."
