    "content": " Order, hon. Senators. I have been agonizing, just like you, on how to proceed and save the Members from torture. First, let me clarify that the Chair did not propose the Motion as amended because up to now, the Motion has not been seconded. The closest it came to secondment was when the Senator for Siaya stood although he had disqualified himself from seconding it too. The debate has brought out issues that have enriched my own understanding. First, I cannot question that wisdom now because it is in the Standing Orders – the Majority Leader who is expected to be the one doing it as the Majority Leader in terms of proposing such a Motion has decided not to. This is something that the Standing Orders have allowed the Majority Leader to do. We have seen some scenarios that could lead to that kind of situation and you can live with that. Once you speak to a Motion, you cannot speak twice to it unless you are moving and replying. So, the right to move and reply has been left to the Senator who will be doing it. However, the Motion, since it is important because it is on the Presidential Address, gives an opportunity to the key people in the House; the Majority Leader and the Minority Leader to have their say. Hon. Senators, since I have been requested, although it is not my job, I will attempt. THAT, after the word “case” where we have put the full stop as proposed by the Senator of Busia, you now say “where the mover is neither the Senate Majority Leader nor the Senate Minority Leader, the latter two shall be limited to 20 minutes each.” The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
