    "content": "Well spoken hon. Ababu Namwamba. I should be making a communication on this specifically because as you rightly pointed out in terms of what is provided for in Article 109 of the Constitution, any Bill may originate in the National Assembly. For avoidance of doubt, it is any Bill. I hope I am speaking to everybody including those who may not be in this Chamber. It is any Bill. Therefore, it is the method of originating it; how we process it once we originate it that we should make clear for smooth running of the House. Since issues have been raised in the recent past whether the chairpersons of committees are the owners of the Bills which obviously do not originate from them, we need to determine how that is supposed to be treated. The other issue is about what hon. Okoth spoke about. People may have thought that he was joking. These are serious matters and we need to provide for them. We need to provide for whatever kind of eventuality. Therefore, I should be making a communication relating to this procedure in the course of next week."
