    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise to oppose this Motion. When I look at the real reason why this Motion is being brought before the House, it is because we want to leave enough time for us to debate the Presidential Speech. I want to remind Members of this House that in the Ninth Parliament, Hon Peter Oloo Aringo fought the provisions of Articles 58 and 59 of the old Constitution, so as to give Parliament its own calendar. When he lost his seat, Sen. Keter, then Member of Parliament (MP) for Belgut, took up the matter and fought for provisions of Articles 58 and 59, to give this Parliament its own calendar, they did not succeed but thanks to Kenyans under the new Constitution, we have our own calendar. We would like, in opposing this Motion, to send a clear message to the President, that the calendar of Parliament is sacred. In fact, to attempt to adjust it must be through a lot of persuasion. Mr. Speaker, Sir, listening to the Mover of the Motion and from the remarks from the background including some heckling from Mandera--- 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."
