    "content": "the National Assembly within the reading of Article 110(3), and indicates that the matter only concerns counties. Hon. Deputy Speaker, I want you to tell us whether that letter is available. We want to know whether the Speaker of the Senate wrote to the Speaker of the National Assembly and reached a concurrence that this SRC (Amendment) Bill concerns counties. From where I sit, Article 93 of the Constitution is very clear. A Bill not concerning county governments can only originate and be considered in the National Assembly. This Bill does not concern county governments and can only originate and be considered in this House. Kindly, Hon. Deputy Speaker, you need to guide us and the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning on this issue. More importantly, apprise us on whether the Speaker of the Senate wrote to you about this Bill and what your response was because the law is very clear. Now that you are sitting on behalf of the substantive Speaker, you are the boss. So, tell us what your response was after consultation with the Speaker of the Senate so that we can see whether the Senate decided to flout Article 109(3) of the Constitution even after they have been advised on the Article by the Speaker."
