It cannot be pronounced in a funeral. It cannot be pronounced in a Harambee. They have to sit and as Cabinet make a decision, sign, and seal and send it out for obedience or for challenge. I am sure, as a good lawyer, he knows this. 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."}
