    "content": "On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I am also pleading for sobriety as hon. Mungatana has done. Initially, I entertained hon. Midiwo’s thoughts, who is the Joint Chief Whip as he would like to be called, but when I engaged my mind on this matter, I looked at the relevant Standing Orders. Indeed, we have a departmental committee on the issue of finance, planning and trade, but when you look at the mandate of that committee, it is so broad that they failed to deal with this particular matter, just the way they failed to deal with population. Two, hon. Midiwo and the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance never quoted any Standing Order that we are in breach of. Standing Order No.200 says that, indeed, we cannot deal with a matter that is already in the mandate of another committee, except on a Motion, and this is a Motion that is creating another select committee in order to get this particular specific matter on the Kenya Shilling and its devaluation to be handled in a specific manner."
