    "content": "I also want to tell my friend, Hon. Kimunya, whom I really learn a lot from, something. His only disadvantage is that he was not in the House when we were implementing many of these statutes. This is the time he had the health break. The problem is that when you have practices and traditions which are against a statute or the Constitution, the Constitution and the statute take precedence. This is a challenge to us in the Rules and Procedure Committee to relook at the Standing Orders and mention the Committee of Means and Ways the way we have mentioned the Committee of Supply. The Members who are in the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning should consider relooking at this archaic legislation and see how we can come up with the Finance Bill, even if we will sleep in this Chamber and get it done. This will give Kenyans something which they can use to pay their taxes in a Bill, but not pursuant to an order which has not been considered properly by the members of the country in public participation."
