    "content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, I would like to clarify one thing. The committee which Sen. Mukiite is talking about is not a committee of the Senate. What we agreed with the Cabinet Secretary yesterday – and Sen. Mukiite was there among others – was that we need an intervention of a committee that is politically-based, but with the involvement of the Executive. This is because the Senate Committee may not be in a position to resolve this matter. So, we agreed that this matter must be resolved both politically and administratively on the ground. That committee should go on the ground and bring facts. But before those facts are brought it means that our report will be half done. We can only come and say: “We have put a committee which is working on the ground and it will give us a report.” Madam Temporary Speaker, the issue has been clarified by Sen. Mukiite; that this matter is emotive is true. For that reason, I know that Sen. Ndiema did not wish that this matter flairs up in public. So, if we are dealing with an emotive matter which might cost lives, we must try to be a bit more cautious. It is good that I am bringing it to your attention that a committee will be formed by the Ministry and it will involve the Executive, County Commissioner and the local political leaders. They will be given the terms of reference – where to go and do on the ground. But as it were, I take your ruling. 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."
