Baiya","speaker_title":"","speaker":{"id":8,"legal_name":"Peter Njoroge Baiya","slug":"peter-baiya"},"content":"Hon. Deputy Speaker, I want to believe that I am rising to speak to Order No.11, but the position being taken by my colleagues on the constitutionality of this Bill is a matter that has occupied the minds of several organs of the Government when these amendments are being proposed. It is incumbent upon the Speaker, before a Bill is presented on the Floor of the House, to cross-check its constitutionality and where satisfied that it does, under the Standing Order No.47(3), to allow the Bill to be presented before the House."}
