    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I take this opportunity to join my colleagues to welcome the students who were here. I encourage them to take this opportunity to plant trees because this is a rainy season. The rivers in Bomet County are drying up and I am sure my sister, the nominated Senator from Bomet, will talk to the students and encourage them to plant more trees, so that we conserve our environment. I would also like to condemn the acts of Members of the National Assembly for disregarding this House. There are 40 legislations which were amended through an omnibus Miscellaneous Amendment Bill and sent to the President for assent. Among them is the Health Bill which became an Act. The reason why some of us have vowed never to take the Huduma Namba is because the Registration of Persons Act was amendment through a Miscellaneous Amendment Bill and made into law where Section 9(a) was inserted forcing us to do something. These are things that we must talk about as a Senate. I just want to let the public know that currently, there is a matter in court before a bench of three judges. They are Justice Nyamweya, Justice Mumbi Ngugi and Justice Weldon Korir. The matter was taken to court by Mr. Okiya Omtatah and the hearing will be on 21st May, 2019. He is seeking a hearing to squash all these legislations. The law is very clear. Mr. Speaker, Sir, in the history of this nation, we must be counted as the House that defended the Constitution. You cannot tell me that we are operating under the rule of The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
