    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Nyikal. Ordinarily, the moment a Bill is passed by either House, we do away with the memorandum of objects and reasons. It is not part of the Bill, once it is passed. It only explains what it is all about. When our Bills are taken to the Senate, they do not have them. If any Member wants to make reference, he can go to the Table Office and obtain the memorandum of objects and reasons of any Bill. You can use it to inform your arguments and debate. It is available but it is not part of the Bill, once it is passed by either House. We had an argument with Hon. TJ Kajwang’ on the memorandum of objects and reasons on the Affordable Housing Bill, 2023. I gave direction that it is just a narrative. It is not a clause in the Bill. It does not end up being part of the Bill. Is Hon. Ruku in the House? He had several minutes left to contribute to this Bill. If he is not in, we will give the chance to another Member. Before that, allow me to acknowledge the following schools in the Speaker’s Gallery: Moi High School, Kabarak, Rongai, Nakuru County and Maranda High School, Bondo, Siaya County. I thought I had acknowledged the presence Maranda High School."
