    "content": "(Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki): Mr. Speaker, Sir, I thank you. I have listened to the point of order by the Senator for Vihiga, Sen. Khaniri, supported by the Senator for Kakamega, Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale, and I beg to differ. The purpose of the Standing Orders is not to tie this House from doing what the Constitution in the law asks us to do. I do not even think we have to go to Standing Order No.1. My own understanding of Standing order No.68 (4)(a) is that if the Committee so established finds that none of the charges have been substantiated, further proceedings shall not be taken under this section in respect of that allegation. Proceeding means that you cannot go Standing Order No.68(4) and start voting. It simply states “no further proceedings”. Secondly, it is proceedings about the allegations. So, you cannot say that once the Committee comes here and gives us a report, you cannot say anything or make any comments because these are matters of general public interest. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
