    "content": " Thank you, Sen. Cherarkey. I am afraid I may not be able to allow comments on these statements. When we sat at the Senate Business Committee (SBC), having looked at the Order Papers for the last three or four months, we realized that we were not making any progress beyond Sstatements. It is like the Senate's main mandate was basically to prosecute Sstatements. We were not prosecuting our main mandate, which is processing Bills. It may be painful but it was necessary that we leave the committees to handle statements. A determination was made that once a Senator rises to request for a Statement, in order to save time, we commit that particular Statement to the select Committee and then move to the next. Sen. Cherarkey, if you look at the Order Paper today, you have a Bill. If we proceed in the manner you are suggesting, that Bill may be with us for the next four months. I do not think you would wish to have your Bill hang around for four months. It is with those reasons that I will not be able to invite comments on the statements. Sen. Wambua, Proceed."
