    "content": " On anything else, I reserve my comments for later outside the Chambers. The matter is very clear. I do not know whether the Senate is operating within the precincts of Parliament or from outside. The PFM Act is very clear that it is only the CS that can publish regulations. They cannot just sit down in one corner of Parliament Buildings and come up with their own regulations. These are people who have gone to school. There are lawyers in that House. I used to know it is a House of old men and women, but I knew they are also learned. Even when you retire, you retire with the knowledge you acquired in school. You do not leave it outside. You cannot just sit in a room and do your own regulations and expect the National Assembly to pass them. This is a serious House. They cannot pass anything that is contrary to the law. It is only the CS for National Treasury, Henry Rotich, who can publish those regulations, then they come here, we take them to the committee, and they look at them to see whether they are in conformity with the Constitution. From there, we can think about whether to pass them or not. Having said that, I do not see why we should give money to the Senate. Money for monitoring what? These people earn salaries and allowances like us. They have mileage allowances. We use our mileage allowance to go to our constituencies every weekend and do monitoring. In the last one week, Hon. Deputy Speaker, I have not seen you in the House. You must have traversed the whole of Olenguruone and everywhere that I cannot pronounce their names with your own allowance. There is a misplaced conception on the functions of the Senate. If you go to Article 95 of the Constitution, which covers the National Assembly, it says that the National Assembly The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
