    "content": "Hon. Speaker, I am rising on a point of order under Standing Order No.114 on introduction of Bills in the House. My concern is with respect to the fact that when I generate a Bill and take it to the Clerk of the National Assembly, he needs to refer the same to a committee. Clause (3)(b) states: “In respect of a legislative proposal for which no Committee is in charge, refer the legislative proposal to the relevant Committee for pre-publication, scrutiny and comments and the Committee shall submit its comments on the legislative proposal to the Speaker within fourteen days of receipt of the legislative proposal.” That is where my issue lies. I submitted a Bill which was referred to the Departmental Committee on Finance, Planning and Trade chaired by my good friend and junior in campus, hon. Langat. The Bill was referred more than a month ago to the Committee for pre-publication scrutiny. However, since that time, the Committee has not processed the Bill. It is now causing concern because the Bill touches on the pension of the former Prime Minister of the Republic of Kenya, the former Vice-President and the former Speaker of the National Assembly, whose position you have ably taken."
