    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, before you make the final determination on the earlier requests by Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. and Sen. Murkomen, allow me to draw your attention to Standing Order No. 40 (2). It says: “Business shall be disposed of in the sequence in which it appears in the Order Paper or in such other sequence as the Speaker may, for the convenience of the Senate, direct.” Sen. Cherargei was saying that we need to follow our rules. This provision of rearranging orders for the convenience of the House is properly provided for in the Standing Orders. I want to appeal to you to accept that plea. Secondly, the root word of “Parliament” is the same root word of the word “parlance.” Parliaments are about speaking. Before I came to this House, when I was in the ‘lower’ House, we used to admire the Senate greatly because of the quality and depth of debates. Whenever I would see Sen. Haji, Sen. Hassan Omar from Mombasa and Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr., you could hear strong and well-researched debates. I want to urge you not to limit Members to two or five minutes, but let us live up to that parler for us to be able to talk. 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."
