    "content": "Order, Sen. Wako! You cannot ask for direction or finding then you walk out. It is important that we must have a meeting of minds. Before Sen. Murungi says anything on this issue - if he wants to because I do not think he needs to - I find it interesting that most of you have risen on points of order pursuant to the Statement issued by Chairpersons of Committees. You are Chairpersons of Committees, and, therefore belong to a Committee called the Liaison Committee of the Senate and meet often. In my opinion, it is futile to raise those issues in the House because, for example, Sen. Wako talks about the seventh, eighth or the ninth Parliaments when question time was one hour. It must have been by a decision of the House Business Committee in that case, that question time went on for a particular time but until that happens, it is very unlikely that when either the Speaker or I are presiding, we would be able to say that now this is the cut off time because the RBC has not made that decision. Therefore, the challenge is back to you. You are the Chairpersons of several Committees; there is the Liaison Committee which is supposed to advise and talk to the Speaker about issues. Also, almost all of you are Members of the RBC. So, until you give direction to this House and say; this is how we expect things to be done, when you raise a point of order, I find it very difficult to stop you because I cannot anticipate what you want to say until you have started speaking on it and then many times we must try as much as possible to be fair and reasonable. The ball goes back to the RBC and the 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."
