    "content": " This is an extremely important issue that has been raised by Sen. Khaniri and it has been raised here three times, but no answer has been given. If I recall, one of the reasons Sen. Khaniri wanted a provisional answer is because the Cabinet Secretary had indicated there is a committee set up to inquire into the issue and that an answer would be given within a short time. Sitting here, I sympathize with the situation, but there is nothing more that I can do if there is no statement, except to look at what Sen. Murkomen has alluded to. Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale is out of order because while considering the issue as the Senate, it is not an issue that needs to be tribalised or put in a certain context. It is an issue we take seriously as a House. I, as the Senator for Muranga County and the Deputy Speaker, I take it very seriously. We all need a statement on this issue because just like Sen. Murkomen said, it could have happened to anyone and it is so unfortunate. That is why we are keen to know what exactly transpired and what your Committee is doing to assure the House and the nation that it is not something that we expect to come up again. Therefore, it is important that you deal with it as soon as possible. Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale, the reason I will not allow you to make another point of order is because we have gone through this issue for too long. If we continue with that, then it appears that no statement will be forthcoming this afternoon."
