    "content": " Order, Members! I really do not know what is required of me. I made a communication which is not contestable. However, I have heard the Senate Minority Leader asking me to suspend the Sitting to allow the House more time on the following arguments:- That he was not consulted, the Speaker has operated with lightening speed, the business before us has no constitutional deadlines, there is a stranger in the House and he crowned it by saying: “With all humility,” he prays that the good Lord may descend upon me.” So, I have heard you. Sen. Orengo introduced issues about killing democracy. He referred to former Presidents, Madison and Adam. I like the reference because it was to America. We agree that America is a democratic nation. Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. asked; what is urgent? There was also the issue of improper motives from Sen. Wamatangi and vacation of office as per Article 108 which was related to the stranger in the House. Sen. Murkomen and the Senate Majority Leader put the case about the matter being as per the Order Paper; that the debate had already been concluded. So, it was just voting to follow. Let me say the following:- First, according to Standing Order No.29, the facts I gave you is when the particulars were completed. I did not tell you the other issues the Senate Majority Leader had raised with me much earlier but I gave you when he submitted to the office the requisite; the letter and the signatures. We are aware that the Presidential Memoranda has been pending before us for a very long time. The matter had progressed so much that it was just pending, an issue that we hope to conclude or otherwise. In my previous communications, I had indicated that this matter cannot just be left in abeyance but must be concluded in one way or another. I was persuaded by that particular consideration. Secondly, that we are going to Christmas, this is the only available week. More importantly, the requirements had been complied with. I was thinking that the Senate Minority Leader will use this opportunity to commend me for operating with lightning speed, because that is what is required. If I never did it before, it can only be an improvement and that must be appreciated. In fact, on the same Gazette Notice, there is a Special Sitting of the County Assembly of Trans Nzioa, where I know you have substantial interest. They gazetted a 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."
