    "content": " Hon. Speaker, you have guided the House as stipulated in the exercise of the legislative powers of the two Houses in Article 109. It is very clear in Article 109(4) where it says that a Bill concerning county governments may originate in the National Assembly or the Senate and passed in accordance with Articles 110 to 113; Articles 122 and 123 of the Constitution and the Standing Orders of the House. The Chair of the Budget and Appropriations Committee is here. There were a number of Bills from the Senate that we dealt with which were of money nature. Going forward, we must do things with fidelity to the Constitution in the sense that, if a Bill is of a money nature, the Budget and Appropriations Committee and the Parliamentary Budget Office must advise the House on the constitutionality of that Bill. The Senate has threatened to audit all the Bills that have passed through this House. We are asking you to do things as per the Constitution. The jurisdiction of each House is well- documented in Article 109 of the 2010 Constitution. The Chair of the Budget and Appropriations Committee needs to expedite all those Bills and come back to the House and give us his views. I thank you for that guidance."
