    "content": "there is a difference between the provisions of Article 94 which are shared with others including the National Assembly and the functions of Article 96 which are exclusive and specific to the Senate. It is in the context of the exclusivity of Article 96 because we do not share that with the other House but I agree with him that it is true we have certain shared responsibilities but on the issue of oversight on counties, it is our exclusive mandate. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, he is not right about Saul. Saul of Tarsus was not passionate before he saw the light. He was passionate after he saw the light. I have been in the light all along and I have not seen darkness. This has been my position. I was slowed down by people who thought that we were politicking in 2013 when we called for a referendum. We were the first people who called for a referendum but it was overtaken by party issues and we are now telling all those concerned that this time round, no party, no authority, no one will deter us from doing our sacred duty because we are on oath and we have taken that oath without putting into consideration any other persuasion. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, having done that, I request that you defer the putting of the question to another day because we do not meet the threshold for voting. I therefore, request you to exercise your authority and discretion under Standing Order No. (54) (3) to defer the putting of the question to a future date. Thank you."
