"content": " Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this is my leadership position. The Speaker should put his foot down. Article 110 is failing us, because the Speaker is not being consulted on how the Bills are moving. The reason why Bills are being held in the National Assembly is precisely because Article 110 has been disobeyed. This means that a Bill starts here, but by the time it goes to the National Assembly, it goes back to the reverse of Article 110, which is that it is a money Bill and it does not concern counties. If the Bill was moved the way it was anticipated in the Constitution under Article 110, then we will not be here. The real reason is that, is there something that the Speaker can do to assert his most undermined responsibility under the Constitution? Two, is there something that the Senate can do, through the Speaker’s Office, to ensure that the cases that are before court, as they are sorting out this issue, are decided on? That is all I can say, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir."
