    "content": "I will speak through you. Thank you. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I am inviting the Senator to move with me. The fact that you want to amend Article 177 of the Constitution, means you want to amend the Constitution of Kenya. The process of amendment of the Constitution of Kenya is provided for in Article 255. It does not say you can amend the Constitution through amending an Act of parliament. I am bringing you to this because in Article 255(2) of the Constitution, they show you the areas you can only amend through a referendum. One of those areas in Article 255 (2) (i) is the objects, principles and structure of the devolved government. The devolved government is the county assembly and the executive. Those are the structures of the devolved government. So, if you attempt to amend anything about the county assembly the way you are doing, you are amending the structure of the county assembly and therefore, the county government. This Constitution in Article 255 says not the Senate or the National The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard and AudioServices, Senate."
