    "content": "protection and caution whatsoever. The people from whom the DNA’s will be collected live in the counties. So, you cannot say that this is not a law that affects counties. We must, as we receive with joy this efficient Interim Statement from the Vice Chairperson of our Committee, encourage that; one, now the Senate is not inviting, but must summon under Article 125 of the Constitution, with attendant consequences, including but not limited to, penal consequences as High courts do. Two, I know that we may not be here the whole of next week because of the Conference in Kirinyaga, but by the following week, on Tuesday, I urge you to direct that the Chairperson of the Committee brings a progress report, particularly, on the order of this House that the pilot process be suspended. He should confirm that, indeed, it has been suspended. Otherwise, this process of sneaking legislation through the National Assembly that has far-reaching consequences on the future of this country and the safety and protection of the rights of individuals, without bringing to this Senate, is flawed abinitio and cannot hold. I want to urge that the Speaker of this House, like his predecessor where such issues arise, should also rise to the occasion and lead this House to the Supreme Court to challenge these illegalities. Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker."
