    "content": " Vice Chairperson of the Committee, Sen. Fatuma Dullo, first of all, I would like to state in answer to what Sen. Billow Kerrow has said that I am not aware of any court proceedings on this matter. Therefore, I do not agree that the matter is sub judice or that we should stop debating it in the House. I am aware from reading newspapers and items like that, that the National Assembly has itself debated this issue. I do not believe that precludes us from debating it; we are a different House, with a different purpose and I think it is our right to debate this matter. Thirdly, I am convinced that this is a matter of national importance because it is affecting all the counties and we need to be satisfied that the procedure used in the recruitment was free, fair, without any favouritsm and that everybody got an equal chance. Therefore, in light of all those things, I would like to rule that, that statement be issued on Wednesday next week. We will not leave it to the last day of the term of the session. So, I want it issued on Wednesday next week, which shall be on Wednesday, 30th July, 2014 at 2.30 p.m. There is a statement which was sought by Sen. Lonyangapuo to the Chairperson of the Sessional Committee on Devolved Government. You are supposed to issue a statement. Is the Chairperson here? The Chairperson is not here. Is the Vice Chairperson here? 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."
