"content": " Order, Senators! First, I wish to tell Sen. Khaniri that similarity of names means nothing. It only means one thing, that there are Members of this House who have been asked to serve. We pass committees so many times with similar names, it has never bothered you. I do not know why it is a bother now. Secondly, your point on the reduction of time is important in the sense that it will allow as many contributors as possible, which I think that is the mood of the House, unlike your good neighbour, Sen. (Prof.) Anyang’-Nyong’o who basically wishes to terminate debate. So, I will go by the one which is desirous of ensuring to the extent possible, and again, contrary to the Senate Majority Leader, while we appreciate that this is an important Motion, but this Motion is about the formation of a committee. It is not the substance. I also made it abundantly clear in my communication that I will not entertain people veering off into other matters. All we need to do as the House is just to confirm that these Members can serve on behalf of the Senate, period. In light of that, I order that I will give every contributor a maximum of five minutes starting with Sen. Billow who was already on the Floor. If possible, let us also minimize the points of order. I will not be entertaining most of them now."
