    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, according to Standing Order No.97 (1) – I shall read it so that it is clear from the outset that it is a proper point of order. It reads:- “A Senator who wishes to postpone to some future occasion the further discussion of a question which has been proposed from the Chair may claim to move that the debate be now adjourned or in Committee of the Whole, that the Chairperson do report progress”. Mr. Speaker, Sir, you have already proposed the question from the Chair, and I now do move that the debate be now adjourned. First of all, just looking at the time and the fact that the funeral service of the late Sen. Kilonzo is starting right away and it would be a matter of great disrespect for this Senate to continue to deliberate on this question when that service is going on. As a matter of courtesy, this Senate has a committee which was appointed to deal with issues relating to the funeral of the late Sen. Kilonzo, and Sen. Musila has already left for that purpose. Sen. Muthama is also not here for that purpose. I am in that Committee and my continued sitting here may be misunderstood. Mr. Speaker, Sir, so this is a dilatory Motion not to frustrate the appointment of the people proposed to be in those particular committees but just arising from the fact that in ten to 15 minutes, we need to be at the Nairobi Baptist Church. I beg to move."
