    "content": "On a point of order, hon. Chairlady. The Leader of Majority Party is clearly misleading this House. He is saying that the Committee referred to in Article 114 is the Departmental Committee on Environment and Natural Resources. Hon. A.B. Duale, can you stop heckling and listen to me. Hon. Chairlady, Standing Order 114 is very clear that where the Speaker is of the opinion that a legislative proposal is Draft Bill in terms of Article 114 of the Constitution, he directs that the legislative proposal be referred to the Budget and Appropriations Committee. We are not disputing the Speaker’s ruling; what we are saying is that the Budget and Appropriations Committee has not been given an opportunity to look at these proposals. Therefore, you cannot say that the Budget and Appropriations Committee has rejected the proposal. What this provision envisages is a situation where the proposed amendments are referred to the Budget and Appropriations Committee for processing by that Committee. What we are saying is that, that did not happen. Since that did not happen, you cannot disadvantage the Members who proposed these amendments. Therefore, I request that under Standing Order 134 we report progress. Thank you, hon. Chairlady."
