    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I know Sen. Cheptumo has just arrived fresh from the National Assembly. I want to remind him that the National Assembly is like a double intake, with 349 Members. Here, we are only 67. Sen. Cheptumo, in appreciation of that fact, Standing Order No.53(3)(a) states that- “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 15 minutes.” Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, riding on Statements is captured in our Standing Orders. This has been a tradition in the Senate that when a Statement is raised by a Member, we are allowed to make comments, provided we do not exceed 15 minutes. I know there is a tradition for the National Assembly, but there is also a tradition, custom and usage of the Senate."
