    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I would like to raise only two issues in relation to that matter. We agreed yesterday that we meet at Hon. Koinange’s Office and I was there on time. We called Hon. Kaluma several times, but we were not able to reach him. Unfortunately, because of mis-communication, he and Hon. Pkosing went to a different venue. So, they were meeting on their own as the Chair and we were waiting for them. We were not able to harmonise the amendments. Ideally, it would be better if we met because it would hasten the process. However, if the Committee wants to proceed, I do not mind. It would definitely hasten the process if we were able to harmonise. Some of the issues we are not agreeing on are mainly when we do not communicate at times. I was magnanimous enough to even tell him that we passed a clause which we had agreed to drop. It was favouring my desire, but it does not. It means we have to recommit. Having said that, I am willing to abide with the decision to proceed. Secondly, I request because it is in line with what we will agree. I have done several amendments to the Care and Protection of Older Members of Society Bill. However, because I was so busy with the Refugees Bill, I realised I did not send it on time. I could only send it in the morning. This means it would not have been processed by the Legal Department. I earlier sent a letter to you, copied to the Clerk and to Mr. Njoroge, requesting if you could kindly indulge me and push the Care and Protection of Older Members of Society Bill to next week. This is so that some of the amendments I am raising, genuinely and honestly, will strengthen the Bill. There are many definitions that are referred to even in the body, but do not appear in the body of definitions. So, if you could kindly indulge me, I would appreciate."
