    "content": "that is for any particular individual. The laws will be styled “An Act of Parliament of the Republic of Kenya.” So, what, perhaps, did not happen - and I may take the liberty to say it here - is that there was either ambush or there was no sufficient time given for the Speaker to even look at the Bill. The Bill was very clear that it is a Bill affecting counties. It is on audit while the other one is on procurement and asset disposal. Those are matters that happen both at the national level and at the county level. Before I come with any form of communication, more importantly, in order to continue with the spirit of consultation--- Unless the two Houses agree to go beyond the provisions of Article 112 and Article113, which are on mediation - and that is contemplated at the tail-end - when the Houses have passed Bills, in which there is a disagreement, then you form a mediation committee. The two Houses could be attracted to the logic in the argument by hon. David Ochieng. If the Houses can resolve to create a mechanism similar to the one of mediation in Articles 112 and 113, obviously it becomes difficult to see how, before the publication of a Bill or after a Bill has been published, we may not in the process be stifling the initiatives of Members. Members can easily find their legislative proposals completely lost in that form of consultations. Even before I make a ruling, which I promise to do, I will have to consult with the leadership of the Senate so that we can understand what could be the problem. This is merely a simple matter of misunderstanding what the National Assembly has been doing with regard to those two Bills. There was no intention at all to overlook the Senate."
