    "content": " Order, hon. Senators! Hon. Senators, this matter is not about to go away. You will agree with me that this was the basis under which we went to the Supreme Court for an advisory opinion. The Supreme Court agreed with this House with regard to that procedure. Even so, we have agreed with the leadership of the National Assembly on the same procedure. I must confess, however, that we still have challenges in implementing some of those issues. If you look at Article 110(3), you will see that before either House considers a Bill, the Speakers of the National Assembly and Senate shall jointly resolve any question as to whether it is a Bill concerning counties or whether it is a special or ordinary Bill. That requirement has not been faithfully followed. However, we have made a determination. Some of the Bills, including the one you have cited affect counties. It is, therefore, my expectation that after the National Assembly considers the Bill; it will come to the Senate. If it does not come, we will also have made a determination. We will say that it has not followed the due process and the consequences are obvious. All the relevant state organs are fully informed of that position."
