    "content": "National Police Service Commission (NPS) to respond to concerns from Senators for and on behalf of the people they represent. The matter at hand relates to the safety and well-being of persons in custody at police stations across the country and in particular, the circumstances surrounding the unwarranted treatment and grotesque death of Mr. Ojwang’. Hon. Senators, as you may be aware, Wednesday mornings are reserved for questions to Cabinet Secretaries. However, special arrangements must be made for the Senate to engage with the Cabinet Secretary and his team on this particular issue. Consequently, I will very shortly allow the Senate Majority Leader to move a Motion for the temporary suspension of this sitting pursuant to Standing Order No.38. The period of suspension of this sitting shall not exceed two hours. This time will be used for the Senate to engage with the Cabinet Secretary and his team, after which normal business as scheduled in the Order Paper will resume, beginning with questions scheduled for reply by the Cabinet Secretary. You will acknowledge that this is, indeed, an unprecedented occurrence in the Senate. However, it is necessary that this route is taken to allow for the necessary flexibility to get a report on the concrete actions being undertaken by the Cabinet Secretary and his team for the Senators to effectively interrogate the matter. During the session with the Cabinet Secretary and his team, the proceedings will be open. Media access will be granted, and so is the live broadcasting of the session. Accordingly, the Hansard Editor is directed to prepare a special report thereon. Senate Majority Leader, you may now proceed to move the Motion."
