REITERATES AND REAFFIRMS its commitment to respect, uphold and defend the Constitution in terms of Article 3 of the Constitution; 2. FURTHER REITERATES AND REAFFIRMS the exclusive role of the Speaker of the National Assembly and the relevant committee of the House in the consideration of any Motion that makes provision for a matter listed in the definition of a money Bill under Article 114 of the Constitution; 3. FURTHER REITERATES AND REAFFIRMS Further its oversight role over national revenue and its expenditure, including the lawful and effective use of public funds by all State organs; 4. URGES the Speaker to continue engaging the Speaker of the Senate on the establishing an appropriate framework for jointly resolving any question as to whether a Bill concerns county governments as and when such a question arises; 5. REAFFIRMS THAT, pursuant to the provisions of Article 95(4) and (5) of the Constitution, the mandate of oversight of State organs exclusively rests in the National Assembly and the duplication of such committees at the Senate as their role is unconstitutional;"
