    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I salute Sen. Omar Hassan on this important issue. Sen. Orengo has even put it in a clearly concise manner. It is upon you to inform the House whether the two of you; the Speaker of the National Assembly and the Speaker of the Senate, can sit together to make a decision on whether a Bill concerns counties and supposing you do not sit, what is the validity of a law that goes to the President for signature? Kenyans are watching and those who are not happy with legislation can move to any court and one of the grounds for moving to court would be the fact that it is not the Parliament of Kenya that passed the law. So, whatever ruling you will give, as the Speaker, will be critical not only for this House but for the people out there. The determination first should be whether it is an Act of Law in the first place. I agree with Sen. Orengo that this is a question of whether we are following the advisory opinion of the sitting court and Article 110. Secondly, it is very clear that this is a House that is friendly to the media freedom. However, that discussion must form the content and the provisions of the Bill. We cannot be heard to be debating like any other The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
