    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is correct that it is actually your Office that has been undermined. The National Assembly has a Standing Order which negates Article 110 of the Constitution in its entirety. They do refer to a document or a Bill that comes from the Senate to a Committee for consideration as to whether it is an ordinary Bill or a matter concerning counties. What upsets me the most, and I must say this on record, is that the documents are actually sent to the Parliamentary Budget Office(PBO), not to a Committee. They are in the PBO. One of those officers told me that Sen. Cheruiyot went to see him, and he wanted to know the reason as to why I did not go to see him. It is your Office that should tell us whether you were consulted on the Bill that Sen. Murkomen is reading. In fact, when giving a communication for purposes of reading a National Assembly Bill for the First Time, you have an obligation to tell the 67 of us whether you were consulted or not. You should tell us, “Dear Senators, I was consulted on this Bill.” That will make us happy, because we will know that our representative, the person that we elected overwhelmingly, carries our mandate. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
