"content": "Thank you, hon. Speaker. We are holding this Special Session, among other issues, to deal with the report of the mediated version of the Division of Revenue Bill as provided for by Article 113 and Standing Order No.149. On the outset, the framers of the Constitution did not anticipate what would happen when a mediation process collapsed, or when the two Houses disagree. I am sure that is very good food for thought for Members both House of Parliament; even the Supreme Court in its advisory opinion, which I personally disagree with--- I agree with the dissenting opinion of the only judge, Lady Justice Njoki Ndung’u in as far as the determination of the Division of Revenue Bill impasse that was given by the Supreme Court in an advisory opinion in 2013. Devolution is in Chapter 11 of the Constitution and it is there to stay; it does not need the protection of anybody, including the Senate and the National Assembly. It is the wish of the people of Kenya."
