"content": " Indeed, Standing Order No.107 is entitled “irrelevance or repetition.” It reads:- “The Speaker or the Chairperson of Committees, after having called attention to the conduct of a Senator who persists in irrelevance or tedious repetition either of the Senator’s own arguments or the arguments used by other Senators in debate, may, after having first warned him or her direct that the Senator discontinue his or her speech.” So, whoever suspects that he may be a culprit to this one, you are highly recommended--- The Chair would not want to go that way; do your own self censorship. Let us conclude this matter; I do not think it is a big issue. I want to agree with the observation by Sen. Kivuti that this matter, having actually been raised by the National Environmental Management Authority (NEMA) which falls under environment, should have gone to his Committee. However, given the sensitivity of this matter and because of the related component in terms of public health and the affected population downstream of the rivers - the Committee on Health, Labour and Social Welfare took up the matter. I urge that the two Chairs come together, then look at this matter, and bring us the report as promised on Thursday. What is it, Sen. Kivuti? I thought it was obvious; and it is what you requested."
