    "content": "Order, Mr. K. Kilonzo! The practice of the House on Ministerial Statements is well captured in our records. With respect to the Prime Minister’s Time, this is a new introduction in our Standing Orders, so we do not have past practice in relation to that. In arriving at this modus operandi, we examined what other jurisdictions do and we found that other jurisdictions practise, during the Prime Minister’s Time, allow only the Questioner to seek further clarifications directly on the Floor of the House from the Prime Minister. They do not allow other Members to seek clarification. But we believe that in our unique circumstances, it is in the interest of the House and, indeed, the Kenyan public to open up room for clarifications beyond the person seeking the Ministerial Statement. It is for that reason that I indicated that clarifications will be restricted to three, beginning with the hon. Member seeking the Ministerial Statement from the Prime Minister. Indeed, Mr. K. Kilonzo, I did give you the first bite at the cherry. So, you are done. You will have to bear with that."
