    "content": "Order, hon. Members! This House is bound, as you all know, to follow its practices and traditions. From the Ninth Parliament, and this is on record, it was resolved and directed by the Chair that all Questions would be called out promptly beginning from the time that the House begins to sit. In this case, the House started at 9.00 a.m., which is the time that Parliament itself has set. Until that is changed, we will have to comply with the timing. With regard to the point made by Mr. C. Kilonzo, with all due respect, the Order Paper for today, for example, could not have been available at 10.00 a.m. because we started business at 9.00 a.m. I can see that all of us are equipped with the Order Paper. So, that is not valid. With regard to the point raised by my good friend, hon. Imanyara, yes, there may very well be grave reasons why a Member is not here. But as long as those grave reasons are not known to the Chair, the Chair remains a stranger. He is not privy to the information. I, therefore, order that we proceed. The ruling so far made will stand. If there is sufficient explanation to warrant reinstating any of the Questions, if I become aware of the grave reasons, and indeed, we decide that they are grave, we may consider reinstating some of those Questions. Next Question, Mr. Lessonet."
