    "content": "On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I rise under Standing Order No.39 (2) and 20. I request the Chair that having convincingly carried the House in re-arranging the business on the Order Paper, that you move under Standing Order No.1, that this House adjourns and discusses the position of the Senate Majority Chief Whip, the Senate Minority Chief Whip and their deputies. I believe you did not rearrange the Order Paper out of pleasure. You did so because of the prevailing circumstances in plenary this afternoon. We should discuss this for the reason that these four officers think that they are doing this House a favour. A number of these Senators are always in this House. The success of this House will be measured by whatever business we conclude. These four officers enjoy unique privileges including perks. Over the last few months, they have not been making any effort whatsoever to discharge their duties. There is need for the House to discuss them. If possible, we pursue their respective political parties and coalitions to have them replaced because we want business to be transacted. If they want to tell us that there are certain Senators in this House who are busier outside the House, then allow us to retreat to our medical practices, see our patients in hospitals in this country, make money and come and earn a free salary here. VISIT BY POPE FRANCIS TO KENYA"
