    "content": "On a point of order, hon. Deputy Speaker. Of course, I had an issue there, but will not bring it up. My point of order is in respect to the fact that as a nation, we are in a crisis. From the information that we are getting, several Kenyans have been killed in Garissa through a terrorist attack. We have said that we are sitting until the business of the House is finalized today, but it would not be prudent for us, as a House, to sit and turn a blind eye to the fact that there is a crisis in the country. I seek your indulgence that you use Standing Order No.1 and, instead of us moving this Order on Ratification of Treaties, which we can ratify even when we come back, we immediately proceed to discuss the crisis in Garissa. We are a House of leaders and if there is a crisis in the country, we cannot sit - when we know that we are going on recess - and turn a blind eye to the crisis. So, kindly, indulge us using Standing Order No.1 and allow us to discuss the crisis in Garissa."
