    "content": " Hon. Senators, Standing Order No.1 is usually applicable when we do not have a specific Standing Order that is providing for the action that is being taken by the House. Now, the challenge we have today with this Motion is that hon. Sen. M. Kajwang’ filed an amendment to the Motion and pending the completion of those three hours, we are only remaining with 15 minutes, if I am not wrong. Clerk, is it 15 minutes? If those minutes are utilized now, it means that firstly, the Motion will not have a chance to be amended and secondly, we will prejudice the reply to this Motion and it is a very important Motion. This is because once the three hours lapse, we will be in a dilemma considering it has to close at the end of those three hours. In view of these challenges and because once the amendment is moved, the Mover will have about 15 minutes which he can share with the Senators at the point when he moves the amendments. I therefore hold that we conclude the debate at this point and retain the 15 minutes so that the Motion does not abate for lapse of time and considering Standing Order No.1 is not available right now for my use because of the provisions that are specifically stated in Standing Order No. 111(1) of the Senate Standing Orders. With that I will ask the Clerk to read out the next Order."
