    "content": "On a point of order Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I am just wondering as to procedure under Article 132 of the Constitution, which covers the functions of the President in relation to the Presidential Address, which as everybody knows, was given last week. But under Article 132(1)(c), what is required is that there should be a report in an address to the nation on the measures taken. What is done to that report is required under (ii); “publish in the Gazette the details of the measures and progress under sub-paragraph (i)” I am just wondering whether that report has been published in the Gazette as required under the Constitution for it to be a matter of business before the House now. In addition, looking at Standing Order No. 24(6) --- I am not against what the Senate Majority Leader has done but I am just saying, as a strict matter of procedure, whether what he is doing is correct. It requires that: - “(5) Whenever the President delivers an address, a Senator may, as soon as practicable thereafter, lay the Presidential Address on the Table of the Senate following the reading of such Address.” So, he can lay the Presidential Address on the Table, which he has done; I have no problem with that. But with those additional documents, I would want to know under what Standing Orders or which provisions of the Constitution are being applied to lay them on the Table. More importantly, unless that report in relation to Article 10 is published in the Kenya Gazette, then, in my opinion, it cannot constitute business upon which this House can now engage in by way of it being tabled before the Senate."
