    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise on Standing Order No.157 concerning the presentation of Bills for assent to the President. Since the public is watching, may I read the provisions of that order? It says:- “The Speaker shall sign a Bill certified under Standing Order No.153 (Conclusion of Consideration of amendments by the NationalAssembly to Bills originating in the Senat e) and shall refer the Bill to the President for assent within seven days of its passage by the Senate.” When the Senate Majority Leader who we all respect very much as a professor of law tells the country that he is going to prevail upon the President so that he does not give assent to the Bill that emanated from the “Lower House”, is he right to mislead the House knowing very well that he has no locus standi whatsoever in law to advise the President on the fate of a Bill that has been concluded in this House or in the “Lower House”? Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, because we are building institutions in this House, I want to disagree with the Senate Leader of Majority that the days of KANU when Kariuki Chotara would brag how he would advise Moi and so on are over."
