    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. First, I agree with the statement that was issued by the Vice Chair. Clearly there seems to be some mischief and bad faith from our brothers in the National Assembly. The amendment that was done to the Statutory Instruments Act clearly is intended to water down any role that the Senate should play on any consideration on regulations that ordinarily affect the functions of county government. It is really meant to reduce the constitutional mandate of the Senate. I join the concerns that were raised by the Majority Leader. If the Senate does not treat this matter with the urgency that it requires, then slowly by slowly, this House will be rendered almost irrelevant. I would like to draw the attention of this House that the role of the Senate has received support from no other constitutional office but the Supreme Court of Kenya. In 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."
