"content": " Order, Senators! That is a nice finish. I now appreciate why Sen. (Prof.) Anyang’-Nyong’o read Article 119 of the Constitution and Standing Order No.227. Maybe the Senator for Nyeri was not listening, but it has been repeated by other Members. Article 119(1) says:- “Every person has a right to petition Parliament to consider any matter within its authority, including to enact, amend or repeal any legislation.” I would imagine that Senators and MCAs are also persons. So, it is a matter within the authority of Parliament. The authority that we have under Article 96 is to protect, promote and represent the interests of counties. So, this is a matter that is legitimately brought to the Senate. 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."
