Cherarkey","speaker_title":"","speaker":{"id":13217,"legal_name":"Cherarkey K Samson","slug":"cherarkey-k-samson"},"content":"Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise pursuant to Standing Order No. 53(3). I know that it is at your discretion, but some of these issues are of great concern, especially the Turkana Wind Power Project. Standing Order No.53(3) 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 fifteen minutes.” Mr. Speaker, Sir, I appreciate that this is at your discretion. However, appreciating the fact that some of these are live matters, I request that you, at least, allow one Member from the Majority and Minority sides to contribute so that we speak to these live issues. I know that we are running against time. Appreciating the fact that there are a number of Statements, I kindly beg that you give each side one opportunity to contribute. I am not encouraging the culture of riding on Statements, but allow us to ride to some extent."}
