Speaker, Sir, but when you go to the role of the Senate, which is Article 96 of the Constitution, it is very clear. Article 96(1) states: “The Senate represents the counties, and serves to protect the interests of the counties and their governments.” Article 96(2) states:- “The Senate participates in the law-making function of Parliament by considering, debating and approving Bills concerning counties, as provided in Articles 109 to 113.” These are special Bills and ordinary Bills."}
