    "content": "There is a projected business for Thursday 26th September, 2024, which will include business not concluded in the Order Paper for Tuesday 24th, September and any other business scheduled by the SBC. At the meeting of the Committee held on Tuesday,17th September, 2024 the SBC approved the schedule of Statements by Committee chairpersons, pursuant to Standing Order No.56 (1)(b). The first three Standing Committees that will be scheduled to issue their reports in the Order Paper on Tuesday, 24th September are as follows, and I hope the chairpersons can take note - The Chairperson for the Committee on Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries, who I had seen in the House, we expect a report. Chairperson for devolution and intergovernmental relations, I know he is in the House. They will be coming up on Tuesday and the Chairperson for the Committee on Education. I have not seen the chairperson, but I know the Vice-Chairperson is here. Before concluding, allow me to say something. Ordinarily, we do not speak a lot on issues that happen outside the precints of this House. However, when they are of a nature that appear to impede or interfere with our work here in the Senate, then sometimes we are duty bound to respond. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have been made aware that on a television (TV) show last night, there is a gentleman who made very disparaging remarks against the person of the Senate Majority Leader. Ordinarily, I do not respond to this kind of matters because as a public servant, I know people can say things about us that sometimes either are unfounded, and if you make it your business, then it might be the only thing that you do. I am deeply troubled that on a live television show, people who are either clout chasing or bait clicking Kenyans can tarnish your name and speak untruths about you. These are things that I have absolutely no idea of and go on to speak at length about the person of Aaron Cheruiyot. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for the record, I do not know Mr. Adani as alleged by that particular person. I have never met that individual."
