We have been on this for a long time and we will now go to requests. I want to request the Senator for Makueni to provide, through the Clerk-at-the-Table perhaps later this afternoon, that portion on the Advisory Opinion II of the Supreme Court which gave this House immense power. We do not have a lot of time; so the Clerk may not have a lot of time. Unfortunately, we have not used those powers, especially that paragraph. I had a discussion with one of the Justices and they said that, that paragraph on what the Speaker can do to give life to the mandate of the Senate is very important. The Speaker sits in a quasi-judicial capacity; so he or she is almost a judge of sorts. Therefore, whatever the Speaker does must be reasoned all the time. Finally, I will endeavour to give an outline of the parameters of this tomorrow. However, going forward, we will continue adding more into this. I will set out not less than 12 reasons why I believe that matters concerning counties is much more than what we have been treated to by pedestrian interpretation of the law of our country."
