    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we are making a request to hold a sitting on Friday, since we have made prior engagements for Saturday. We are ready to sacrifice and sit on Friday, for the sake of executing what is required of us. Whatever we have planned for Friday, we will shift it to Saturday. If some of us travel out of Nairobi on Friday, we will not come back on Saturday. You and I have been in Parliament for long. We have had constitutional Bills being tabled and we adjourned for an hour for Members to go through them and contribute. We need Members to go through the report. If the Committee completes the report on Friday morning, it will not release it until it is tabled. It is after the report has been tabled by the Committee that we will all get access to it. At that point, we can request to adjourn for one hour, so that we can go through the report. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we do not know the verdict of the report. It may say that they disagree with all the allegations and the governor is clean. In that case, there will be no debate about it. Let us not speculate because we do not know what will come out of the Committee. The report may come with a verdict of “no case.” If there will be a case, we will adjourn to go and read the report within an hour. We can finish those allegations in one hour; we cannot take the whole day. Even if we request that a Sitting be held on Saturday in order for Members to contribute effectively, I can assure you that there will not be enough time to read the report, because it will be tabled on the same day. Let us be serious. My request to my Leader is we do it on Friday afternoon, so that we can be away on Saturday."
