    "content": "Order, hon. Members. Hon. Members, I realize that this matter is very emotive. I am also awake to the fact that this matter pertains to the security of this nation. This matter, therefore, goes to the very foundation of the Kenyan nation and discussing it as we are doing runs the risk of literally rocking the boat, the boat being the Kenyan nation. Given that this matter was ordered yesterday to be referred to a joint committee of the House, I will find that it is appropriate that all these issues are addressed in the investigation that will be conducted by that joint committee of the House, and that after the report is prepared, it will then be brought before this House and Members will be at liberty to adopt or not adopt the report of the Committee, and that that report, I believe, will address all the concerns of Members. Where it will not, when it comes for debate, Members may then input their sentiments into that report. So, for the moment, I will direct that the Minister will furnish no further information because that information, it is anticipated, will be made in the Committee. But I will do the following - because I did indicate in my earlier ruling that I will take five requests for clarification in the first batch and that I will take another five - I will take the next set of clarifications, because we have heard the Member for Lagdera who called for the Statement and that effort has been supplemented by requests for other clarifications by four other Members. A number of Members have also stood on points of order and supplemented the areas that Members need clarification on. So, I will now want to take the next batch of five which will help inform the inquiry of the Committee. Please, hon. Members, refrain from debate because it will be helpful if you reserve the information that you have to appear before the Committee that will investigate this matter and give as much information as you can. Those will be my directions and I will take the next five for the purpose of providing parameters to the Committee that is investigating this matter. I want to start with the Member for Dujis as the first among the five. Minister, please, take notes because it will be necessary that you address these matters as you appear before the Committee."
