    "content": "focusing on a very important Bill, the proceedings need to be properly broadcasted. This is an enactment of a Bill in relation to local content, which is definitely is an avenue to achieving some of the goals that our nation has in ensuring that the extractive minerals can be harnessed for the benefit of our nation. Those are proper proceedings that need to be properly broadcasted. We have been advised that the Budget and Appropriations Committee, as mentioned by Sen. Kinyua, have a request to ensure that the Senate has a system that properly broadcasts and meets the constitutional standards of providing information to the public and ensuring that the public is able to follow what is happening at the Senate. In addition to what I had requested, I again request the technical team, under the secretariat and through the Clerk’s office, to ensure that, if possible, the immediate and proper transmission of the proceedings that are happening in this House. I regret that I am not able to order for the closure of the broadcast. That would be drastic and wrong. The transmission will continue, but we are asking the technical team to do all that is possible to ensure clarity in the broadcast and also ensure that Senators appear in the state they are at, with clear, sharp and focused images and with the clarity of what they are submitting as well. Over to you, the technical team and the Clerk’s desk. Please give support to the Senate in the proceedings. We may proceed. The Committee on Finance and Budget, this is an urgent issue that we direct you to deal with and with immediate effect, so as to avoid the challenges the House is going through due to interfered proceedings by poor broadcasting. In this digital era, we should not have excuses. Kenya has enough experts and technical support. Even the equipment is available. There should no excuse for not providing clear broadcasts. What is your point of order, Sen. Karungo Thang’wa?"
