    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Let me also add my voice to this matter. First, the issue of consultation that is provided for in the Constitution is abundantly clear. It is not consultation when the Speaker for the National Assembly says that the matter has already been minuted in some House Business Committee minutes. I do not expect the Speaker of this august House to have judicial notice of the minutes of the “Lower House.” The issue of threatening this House with dissolution because they fail to meet the timelines of some Bills, when, in fact, if there is any House that is due for dissolution on account of their conduct and failure to meet deadlines, it is known. I do not think that that is an issue and I think we must be firm and go through on the Supreme Court pursuit that we had taken on some of those Bills. Lastly – this is very important –given the concerns that Kenyans are expressing today about the quality of Bills, Motions, reports from the National Assembly and the need for quality control; because of the questions of integrity that have come up, this The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
