    "content": "Sorry, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I was consulting the Senate Majority Leader. I want to apologise to Sen. Wetangula, the Leader of the Minority. We agreed and gave an undertaking that we were going to respond to this issue in two weeks’ time. It is now one week after the deadline. We sought the statement from the Attorney-General. We have done a lot of follow up but the Attorney-General responded to us that the right information would come from the Director of Public Prosecution (DPP). That is still pending. The DPP has not responded. I have just intimated to the Senate Minority Leader that I mischievously requested for the same statement from the Minister of Labour. He responded but since this was a statement sought from the Attorney-General’s office and since we are meeting the Attorney-General on Tuesday, one of the agenda issues that we intend to discuss with him is the delay that this House continues to get from the Attorney-General’s office in terms of responding to statements sought by this House. I, therefore, request that the House still grants us that indulgence, so that within the first week from our recess, we should be able to respond to this question. But I also undertake that, as a Committee, when we meet the Attorney-General next week on Tuesday, that will be one of the issues that will be addressed. I, therefore, seek the indulgence of the Senator for Bungoma County to give us a little more time on this issue."
