    "content": "Hon. Members, the sole point for determination, as I see it, is the admissibility of the Motion by hon. Ogindo. If this is so, some of the contentions raised by hon. Members appear to go to the merits of the Motion rather than the pure technical point of the admissibility of the Motion under our Standing Orders. The admissibility of a Motion is to be seen through the provisions of Standing Order No.47(3) which provides as follows: “If the Speaker is of the opinion that that any proposed Motion:- (a) is one which infringes, or the debate on which is likely to infringe any of these Standing Orders; or (b) is contrary to the Constitution, without expressly proposing appropriate amendment of the Constitution; or (c) is too long; or (d) is framed in terms which are inconsistent with the dignity of the House; or (e) contains or implies allegations which the Speaker is not satisfied that the Mover can substantiate; or (f) calls for the commitment of public funds for which no provision is made in the annual estimates as adopted by the National Assembly; the Speaker may direct either that the Motion is inadmissible or that notice of it cannot be given without such alteration as the Speaker may approve."
