    "content": " Maybe, for the benefit of the Senator for Samburu, you will appreciate that we formed the Rules and Business Committee only this morning and it was in the inaugural meeting that this agenda cropped up and the Committee agreed unanimously. So, there is nothing between the Speaker of the Senate and the other Speakers. I appreciate your concerns and confirm that I know them for sure. While I would have loved to ensure that Senators from Samburu, Turkana, Wajir and Mandera attend, we cannot also deny others who have the advantage of proximity – and they are the majority - to be able to participate. But the Chair notes your concerns, where it is possible - and I think that, that is why the Motion has been amended – even for us in the future, we will always try to do things in good time. But you will appreciate that yesterday, we had the Joint Sitting of Parliament and this is the only day we had to be in the Chamber. This Motion could not have come at any other time. This is actually the earliest opportunity we were able to debate the Motion. Hon. Senators, since there are no other contributors interested and we do not have to put the Question of the closure of debate, I will invite the Mover to reply. 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."
