    "content": " They originated a Bill which died because it was voted out; the “Nays” had it. So, we do not know about it; it is a stillborn. We now have another Bill, which is not based on that Bill. It is a Bill that is now originating from the Senate. It may be dealing with similar issues; Article 81, 90, 97 and 98, but it is a different Bill for all purposes. For the sake of argument, I want us to assume that we shall vote “Yes” and pass it. If we do, we are fanctus officio that far, because we shall send a message to the National Assembly, who shall then take it to the Floor of the House. They shall debate and reject it. The only thing that will then happen; since we will have gone through the whole hog of debating and passing it, is that; it must go to mediation under Article 113. That is where it will pass or not, but we shall have done what we have to do. But we cannot pre- empt a situation and say that a similar Standing Order in the National Assembly, like our Standing Order No.146, has been breached because ours has not been breached. The Speaker of the National Assembly cannot say they had a similar Bill less than six months ago and so, they cannot put it on the Floor of the House, because it is not their Bill; this is our Bill. That is my view. Sen. Kajwang, what is your opinion?"
