    "content": "(Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki): Thank you, colleagues. I can see so many requests and I understand. I can also understand the very strong comments made by Sen. Wetangula. Allow me to make the following little comments: First, we are not debating Division of Revenue Act (DORA). There is no Motion before us. Whoever I gave a chance must have stood on a point of order following my communication. Once a Speaker makes a ruling, you can have an intervention; either to commend or to say something about it. We do not have a debate or Motion. That means you can actually say it in a minute or two, you do not have to take ten minutes. The second comment I would like to make, Sen. Wetangula, DORA is a legislation. I am saying this for the record because the directions and communications from the Chair is part of the law making process of our legislative jurisprudence. DORA is a legislation sui generis . It means that it is a special kind of legislation that is just DORA; it is in a class of its own. It is about taking some money in the national Government and the other in the county government. It cannot be a Money Bill. That should educate some of the people I heard making loud comments about nothing. These are people who have not led anything. They have not been in charge of anything in this world before they were voted to Parliament. It is a fact that seniority comes with responsibility. To those whom much has been given, much is expected of them. My plea continues nevertheless. Let us hear the Senator for Nairobi City County."
