"content": "Mr. Speaker Sir, for avoidance of doubt, I said that the rulings of Marende have been brought here selectively. If I said quoted selectively, I withdraw and apologise. For that purpose, let me go on record to say that the ruling of Marende, the same Speaker, on Thursday, 3rd September, 2009, on the Report on the Task Force of Conservation of Mau Forest, I will table it now and give it to the Clerk. However, before I do that, let me read it again for the record. It says in the third last paragraph that:- “The documents presented to the Chair, Mr. Isaac Rutto - I am sure it meant Hon. Isaac Rutto on 27th August, 2009, are more than four years old. As the Chair had earlier indicated, nothing in the document provides any evidence that this case has ever been set down for hearing. Standing Order No.8, which is equivalent to this one, does not envisage it to be the role of the office of the Speaker to make inquiries in the court registry to establish the status of matters before them. Where sub judice is alleged, unless there is good cause to the contrary, the Chair will consider only evidence tendered to it. It goes further in the next paragraph to say, therefore: “To the extent that no evidence has been produced to the Chair, that there are any active criminal or civil proceedings rendering debate on the Motion relating to Mau 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"
