My point of clarity is based on Standing Order No.53. it is also good to note that the new chairpersons are already tired, and they want to reduce the amount of statements that are going to their committees. My point of order is, if you read Standing Order No.53(3), it says that- “(3) Where a statement has been requested from a Committee pursuant to paragraph 1- (a) the Speaker may allow comments in relation to the Statement for not more than fifteen minutes;” The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard and AudioServices, Senate."

"content": " Order, Hon. Senators. Sen. Karungo, you are totally misguided. Those two provisions are not contradicting each other. In Standing Order No.55(3), it speaks on the body of your request for statement. It must not be made in the pretext of a debate. It should be very clear what you are seeking. It should not raise an argument as you are raising it. It should be very clear in what you are seeking and which committee you want it to be committed to. Standing Order No.53(3) is to give a chance to your colleagues, maybe to amplify what you have said. In fact, Standing Order No.53(3) does not talk of a debate, it is comments. We are not debating a statement. Maybe you would wish a committee to go beyond what has been requested. It is basically adding value to the request that has been made, but not really debating the contents of that particular statement. So, I think the two complement each other. Hon. Members, let us make progress. Allow me to call Sen. Essy Okenyuri. Sen. Essy, what is your intervention?"

For instance, I have a case here that is dealing with the management and operations of the Kenya National Police DT SACCO, which has been referred to the Committee on National Security and Foreign Relations, whereas I feel that SACCOs are issues to do with cooperatives. It should have been better handled by the Committee on Tourism, Trade and Industrialization. I would wish to seek clarity on this matter."
