    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I appreciate the discussion that is going on. I want to acknowledge that the matter that has been brought here by Sen. (Dr.) Lelegwe, Senator for Samburu County, is a very important Statement. It is a matter of national importance. I do agree that no Kenyan life should be taken for granted. Those are pertinent issues. We do have a Standing Order that addresses the issue of irrelevance. With your indulgence, can you guide the House for us not to introduce matters outside what is in the debate, that could either be a Petition or a Statement? Most of us are resisting to speak other things because we want Sen. (Dr.) Lelegwe to achieve what he wants with this Statement. If we continue with this flow, we will end up with a political and personalized discussion. People will even start calling each other names. The discussion has now degenerated into relationships in the Committees. Once we are done with the Committee on National Security, Defence and Foreign Relations, someone will come up with another Committee. We will move the Motion on the Membership of the Committees and any Member who has an issue can raise it then. We have consulted widely. As the leadership and the Members of this House, we want the Business of this House to continue. Allow me to remind Sen. Cheruiyot that he is a Commissioner. He should be one of the people setting the standards very high in this House for the Business of this House to be respected. Can he be relevant?"
