    "content": "I hope that one day we will be able to reverse the Supreme Court ruling which stated that the Division of Revenue Bill can also be considered by the Senate. This is a money Bill. Some of the rulings of the courts are, at times, unconstitutional. The only problem is that we cannot challenge them anywhere. The Judges of the Supreme Court cannot be elected by the people. Parliament is the House that can make laws to undo what the Supreme Court, at times, decides. The ruling that the Division of Revenue Bill should be sent to the Senate was made without any precedent and without following any law. When coming up with the provisions of the Constitution, the drafters and Kenyans themselves decided that the Division of Revenue Bill should only be considered in the National Assembly. The representatives of the people are in the National Assembly. We represent the people and this money should be used by the people and not for boundaries. As you know, the Senate only represents boundaries - that is the counties. I beg to second."
