    "content": "Order, hon. Members! I want to draw your attention to Standing Order No.116 (3). It reads:- “No amendment shall be moved which is inconsistent with any part of the Bill already agreed or any decision already made by the Committee, and the Chairperson may at any time during the debate of a proposed amendment, withdraw it from the consideration of the Committee if in the opinion of the Chairperson, the debate has shown that the amendment contravenes this paragraph.” The presumption is that when you move an amendment and the House adapts a provision that essentially is inconsistent with the amendment that you are moving, then you withdraw the amendment. Even if you do not withdraw it, it clearly stands withdrawn. That is why the Chair says: “I now put the Question that clause so-and-so be part of the Bill.” Once that has become part of the Bill, you cannot move anything else or any other clause that contravenes that particular clause. That is the position, hon. Members. Hon. Ruto, proceed! Mr. Ruto, move your amendment!"
