    "content": " Order! Order, Chairman! Let me dispose this matter in the following manner. Firstly, Chair, you need to give a definite date taking into account all the points that Members have given in terms of the urgency of the matter. Secondly, I am satisfied that the Committee is seized of the matter. I think that is very critical. They have actually visited the place, attempted to beat the deadline and the Senator for Nyeri County has told us as much. You remember Sen. Abdirahman had talked about the Chairs bringing information that was not good enough. I think when the Chair comes and pleads for more time, we should also be a bit understanding, of course, given the sensitivities around it, so that we ask him to do a better job, faster. There is the issue of the language. Sen. Wetangula said that the Chair was rumbling. The same Sen. Wetangula was quick to challenge the Chair on some words that he is not issuing statements in order to please one or two people; a statement that I felt was basically in the context of he does not want to do a shoddy job just to beat the deadlines. I think everybody appreciates that technicalities should not deny us good work. He then went ahead and added his own many words, which were not offensive, describing the same thing. You know, being repetitive is also not acceptable. Therefore, under those circumstances, I will allow the language thing to cancel itself. Just to make this point, there is neither Chairman nor Senator who rumbles. Sen. Wetangula, do not raise an issue with this. I have given you an escape route. The last one is the one of Sen. Hassan which is a serious one. I need to look at the paper so that I confirm that they were quoting the Senator and not reporting on the activities of the Committee. You know that our activities are in the open. If you are visiting a place and the media is there to cover what you are uncovering, how do you blame the Chair or the Committee? So, we need to establish the particulars and then we will deal with that matter. Mr. Chairman, when will that be?"
