    "content": "Hon. Members, the Speaker was being invited to make a finding that the inquiry leading to the second report by the PAC on a similar matter as had previously rejected was in contravention of the six-month restriction imposed under the then Standing Order No.42, which is our current Standing Order No.49, hence could not be proceeded with unless the decision rejecting the previous report was rescinded. Consequently, the then Speaker was required to either: (a) Rule that the report was inadmissible to the extent that it contravened the then Standing Order No.42; or, (b) grant leave for the moving of a Motion to rescind the rejection of the first report and pave way for admission of the second report. From the ensuing debate, both the Members and, indeed, my predecessor, Speaker Francis ole Kaparo, did admit that that was an unprecedented incidence. The Speaker did pronounce himself that that was the first time in the history of Parliament of Kenya that the House was being called upon to exercise the power to rescind its decision on a report of a committee. I have reviewed the Hansard of the proceedings containing the debate of 28th March 2006 and the Speaker’s ruling of 30th March 2006 and established that the then Speaker observed: The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
