    "content": " Sen. Elachi, it is not that your party leader has any bone of contention with the Senate Majority Leader. Indeed, the fact that you are the Chief Whip already means that there is no bone of contention. The issue that Sen. Murungi and many other Senators are raising, and which the Chair wants to underscore, is that Statements are sought on the Floor of this House, Chairs make commitments on when they will bring them and we have always been generous that you would even request a week or two weeks. Usually, at the very beginning, we have no problem with giving you whatever time you wanted. But once you commit yourself, the honorable thing to do is to deliver the commitment. If you cannot, the House is entitled to know why. So, I think what we are objecting to, one, is for the responsible Chairs or the Senate Majority Leader basically to disappear and, then, he sends you and you have no answer or apologies to make. For you, it is just a continuation; you are just seeking extension of time without any explanation. Surely, the Chair cannot allow that to happen. This is a House of hon. Senators where they represent counties and their people. So, we demand answers and answers must be given when they are supposed to be given. I think Sen. Murungi, that is strong enough!"
