    "content": "Indeed, the Chairperson acknowledged that during the public participation phase of the proposed legislation, his Committee received and deliberated on the same claims of sub judice as well as unconstitutionality of the Bill and found them to be misplaced. Hon. Members, from the submissions of the Member for Mathare, I have deduced two areas that require guidance emanating from the matters raised as follows: 1. Whether the provision of Standing Order No.89 relating to matters sub judice will limit the House from considering and passing the Nairobi Metropolitan Area Transport Authority Bill 2017; and, 2. Whether the Nairobi Metropolitan Area Transport Authority Bill No.41 of 2017 is unconstitutional. At the outset, I wish to inform the House that my reading of the Long Title of the Bill reveals that the principal object of the Nairobi Metropolitan Area Transport Authority Bill National Assembly Bill No.41 of 2017 is to give effect to Article 189(2) of the Constitution. This will be by establishing the Nairobi Metropolitan Area Transport Authority and provide for an integrated and sustainable public transport system within the Nairobi Metropolitan Area that consists of the counties of Nairobi, Kiambu, Machakos, Kajiado and Murang’a."
