    "content": " No, give me time to consult and I will come back to you. Give me a few moments and I will get back to you. Hon. Senators, this is my considered opinion on the issue. There are two amendments on the paper ahead of us. If you look at the second page, you will see the two amendments. You will see the one by Sen. Billow and another one by Sen. (Eng) Muriuki Karue. The amendment by Sen. (Eng.) Muriuki Karue is clearly signed by him. He has signed his name and his county in brackets (Nyandarua County). The amendment by Sen. Billow starts with the words: “The Chairperson of the Standing Committee on Finance, Commerce and Budget. Sen. Billow wears two hats in this House. He is Sen. Billow, the Senator for Mandera and he is also Sen. Billow, the Chairman of the Committee. So, as Sen. (Eng.) Muriuki Karue has done, he should also have signed below his amendment as Sen. Billow, Senator, Mandera County. However, he has signed this amendment as Sen. Billow, Chairperson of the Standing Committee on Finance, Commerce and Budget. I understand that he has also signed the Motion as Sen. Billow, Chairperson of the Standing Committee on Finance, Commerce and Budget. Therefore, I agree with Sen. Mutahi Kagwe that this is not a personal Motion in the name of Sen. Billow Kerrow. It is a Motion by the Committee and anyone from the Committee can move the amendment."
