    "content": "On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. In making your statement, there is some confusion that is arising. That is why there is a problem in procedure. There is a difference between a Sessional Committee, a Standing Committee and a Select Committee. When you were giving your directions, you talked about a Select Committee which is quite a different animal from a Standing Committee. A Standing Committee can give a statement within a day or two. However, a select committee is appointed for a very special purpose like the Select Committee that was appointed by Parliament to investigate into the murder of J.M Kariuki and others. That would be a select committee. If we proceed by giving my friend, Mr. Karaba, another week, then the whole idea of requesting for these statements will be undermined. Statements are required because of some urgency. That is why the Speaker may direct that the statement be given on the same day. Be that as it may, would it be in order for us to congratulate Mr. Karaba for doing a good job? He has done extra work and he could lay the Report on the Table. However, with regard to the specific request made by the Senator for Kakamega, could the statement be brought tomorrow? Otherwise, it will lose meaning as it were."
