    "content": "On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Let me, first of all, say that I am completely in agreement with the Deputy Speaker and the distinguished Senator for Murang’a County. I hold him in high distinction because I have practiced law with him from opposite sides, and I know his ability. With the greatest respect, the word “may” applies to your discretion to allow a visiting Head of State to address the Senate. He might be the greatest power in the world, but you still have that discretion. The consultation with the Senate Majority Leader and the Senate Minority Leader, is a condition precedent so that you cannot make that decision without making those consultations. I plead with you, where you are right, we will agree with you like on Standing Orders No. 25(2). Sen. Ong’era and your ruling are absolutely correct. However, on the first one, the consultations with the Senate Majority Leader and the Senate Minority Leader is what we call in law, a condition precedent. Therefore, you cannot make a decision without those consultations."
