(Prof.) Anyang’-Nyong’o strengthens my position that I have taken because he has moved from Standing Order No.45 to Standing Order No.1. The reason I made that ruling - believing it is correct in the circumstances - is because it is novel. We cannot say because we have done it before, we must also do it. If it were that easy, Sen. (Prof.) Anyang’-Nyong’o being an experienced Senator, would not have asked me to use my discretion under Standing Order No.1. What we shall do is to await a finding by another Chair in the future to bring in the dynamism the Senate Minority Leader has talked about. But as of now, I have made a ruling."}
