    "content": "we had brought forward and then meet to look at issues above board as leaders of Kenya. When we did that, we reached an amicable decision within 20 minutes after the tea break. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, one lesson that I would like this House to adopt is that we agreed and saw the need that in future, instead of the National Assembly looking at issues on their own as we also do the same, if there could be a way to have a joint meeting, during the final deliberations of any Bill, the issues of mediation would come to an end. We even had a meeting today to look at the Climate Change Bill, 2014 and because the process of getting Joint Committees is long, we chose to invite the author of that Bill, Hon. Otichilo, to sit with us and explain what he is likely to explain to the National Assembly after we move that Bill. I believe that this is the spirit of leading Kenya; not necessarily looking at who is bigger than the other in law making. The amicable solutions that were reached have already been expressed. This Bill is not anything new to this House. I would, therefore, move that as I second this Motion, that we only need to vote because most of the debate was done in the National Assembly. We had a public hearing and debate was also done here. The only four issues have already been agreed on and I would request that we do not subject this Bill to any further interrogation. However, I leave the decision to the Chair. I second the Motion and thank the Committee."
