    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I beg to support this very important Bill. This country has a new Constitution. The provisions of the Constitution of Kenya 2010 are well thought out. This country adopted the Constitution after a long process of negotiations. It is unfortunate that we have institutions in this country who still think that the country is still being governed by the old constitution. There are new institutions courtesy of the new Constitution. Previously, we had a unicameral Parliament. Under the new Constitution, we have a bicameral Parliament; that is the Senate and the National Assembly. However, many of our people think Parliament is made up of the National Assembly. It is an unconstitutional for Members from one Chamber to propose amendments to various legislations without, including participation of the other House. For example, the Bill that the National Assembly passed to remove the role of the Senate in the process of ratifying treaties is completely unconstitutional. The Members moved an amendment The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate"
