"content": "That has happened before. This is exactly the situation that we faced in the Division of Revenue Bill. We ended up waiting for over two months before making a decision to proceed because in any case, we may not get the decision to invalidate the Appropriation Bill. However, a bolder Judiciary like the Supreme Court of the UK should even be courageous to go ahead and invalidate any law that was passed against the Constitution. We are facing a situation where after making a pragmatic decision in so far as passing the Division of Revenue Bill is concerned, we ended up also passing the County Allocation of Revenue Bill. The Office of the Speaker issued a Communication earlier in so far as the mediated version of the Division of Revenue Bill is concerned but we could not agree on even simple questions during mediation. We sat somewhere in an office with the Speaker, the Senate Minority Leader, Senate Minority Whip and the Chairperson of the Committee on Finance and Budget just to go through the HANSARD. It is because in a report, automatically the HANSARD should have the same. The HANSARD of the National Assembly reported different from that of the Senate. These kinds of disparity must be dealt with."
