    "content": "meeting for Tuesday 15th December, 2015 at 2.30 p.m. The number is 9267 and ours is 9266. Regarding the issue of Sen. Keter, the Senate Majority Leader has explained it. Until he is sworn-in and writes to say that he has resigned, I have no other way or verifying that either through 411 or before the House. In any case, I would not have recalled you. I was at pains because some of the questions you are asking, I also asked the Majority Leader whether it was necessary at this particular time. I think he persuaded me and that is the most important thing. I expected the Senate Majority Leader, in the usual tradition, to consult the Senate Minority Leader. He has owned up that it is his desire, but for some reason he did not do so this time. That is for you and the Senate Majority Leader and I agree that, in future, since we have a tradition of working together, the consultations must take place. Regarding the constitutional deadline, this matter had been extended by a period of nine months. We actually passed the constitutional deadline for both Houses for 27th May, 2015 after an extension from 27th August, 2015. The two Bills are actually constitutional and the Water Bill is not. On the request by the Minority Leader on more time, just because nobody asked you how much time you need to do your research, it does not mean that it is extended forever. In the HANSARD of 3rd December, 2015, the Senate Majority Leader said that one day to the interview we will come for a Special Sitting. That is what he said then and he has repeated today. The Temporary Chairperson, Sen. Ongoro, said: “No problem. When do you want to interview him? How many weeks? We are giving you the first week.” From 3rd December, 2015 to today, it is almost three weeks. That period has already elapsed. If the Senate Majority Leader is willing to consider your appeal, the Chair is here to facilitate such considerations. Let us proceed."
