    "content": "Article 110(3) and(4), if there was evidence that again this is another Bill where the two Speakers never sat down - many people have referred here that Senate was by-passed. How? The Constitution does not mention the whole Senate. What the Constitution mentions in Article 110 (3) and (4) is the two Speakers of the National Assembly and the Senate. What it says is that, if a question comes to them about the validity of the question of legality of whether it is a matter concerning counties, the two Speakers will sit down, they can sit under a tree, concur over a phone call and they can do it by acquiescence or in writing. Therefore, once that decision has been made by the two Speakers, we are all functus officio, whether it was on Twitter, Whatsapp,Facebook, this House is bound by the decision that has been made by the two Speakers. We cannot come here and act in futility to appear to be taking away the power and the role of the Chair to make a determination. For all that I have said, I beg you to continue with the ruling that you had made before to protect the integrity of the House, to ensure that there is consistency in this country that this matter is sub judice . If my friends lose the case on Friday or any other day, let them call us. I will be among the first people to be willing to debate matters that will not put us again in a collision path with the Judiciary. I support."
