    "content": "On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I agree with Sen. (Eng.) Muriuki that we need a written ruling on this issue, so that we remove doubt completely. If that is so, then, these points of orders that we are rising on could very well inform the decision that will be made. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, earlier I had risen to conclude by saying that your suggestion that Standing Order No.45(4) prevents us from commenting on the point of order; you should review it because if the Standing Orders wanted that Senators should not comment, under Standing Order No.45, then, that should have been stated. I say this because when it was found out that there is need for Senators not to comment anything, it was stated in Standing Order No.46. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, in conclusion, I, therefore, appeal to you because the issue in Uganda is very serious because we do not intend to debate the Government of Uganda or the President elect, but comment on the election in Uganda. Do not wait for the long written decision, but instead you should rescind your decision. We can ride on this because if the topical issue was that arising from the election, refugees have started crossing into Busia, Malaba and Lwakhakha, you would not have waited. We would still have gone ahead and debated the issue. I beg you."
