    "content": " Hon. Deputy Speaker, indeed, that singing and petitioning has been ongoing for the last five hours or so. When we sat as a panel, that music was still on. When we sat at the Senate Business Committee (SBC), that music was still on. It is still on. Now, whatever the grievance, the leadership should listen to it. Pick whatever memoranda or memorandum is to be picked, and thereafter, ask them to retreat as Parliament looks into their grievances. Thereafter, we can invoke the powers of the Serjeant-At-Arms to disperse them. It is good to listen to them before we tell them to disperse. So, in this regard, allow me to nominate two of our Senators to engage them and then come back to report to the House. Otherwise, we will not do business in this House. The noise out there is certainly disruptive of the proceedings, but again, we cannot just wish it away. The only thing we can do is to give the petitioners an ear and then ask them to retreat as we look into their grievances kindly. I will nominate Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale, the Minority Whip, Sen. Sifuna, and the Deputy Speaker. The three of you will proceed to give them an ear, report to the House, and see if we can find some peace. Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale, proceed to seek your clarification."
