    "content": "Yes; clearly there is a clarification here; Standing Order No.111 says:- “A Bill having been read a First Time shall stand committed to the relevant Departmental Committees without a question being put”. But the same Standing Order No.111 (3) says:- “This Standing Order shall not apply in the case of a Consolidated Fund Bill, an Appropriation Bill, a Supplementary Appropriation Bill or a Constitution of Kenya (Amendment) Bill” So, indeed, as you have put it, this is not subject to that automatic committal. It is not a committal; it is a deferment. Under Standing Order No.1 in areas which are not provided for Mr. Speaker has the final word, which is not subject to any appeal. Under the circumstances, I also direct that the joint committees deal with this matter with speed. Proceed with the debate now."
