    "content": "Hon. Members, I have heard the presentations, if not, pleas, by the two Chairmen of the respective Departmental Committees on behalf of the larger membership of those Committees. Whereas I appreciate the public interest in this matter and the anxiety to hear what the findings of the two Committees are, I am satisfied that the Committees have made out a case for extension of time on the ground that contrary to the expectations, they have been overwhelmed by the number of witnesses who have turned up prepared to make submissions and give evidence before them. Indeed, a number of documents have also been tendered before the Committees. Therefore, it is necessary that we accord these Committees more time, at least, until Tuesday next week at 2.30 p.m. Please, the two of you, hon. Okemo and hon. Namwamba, note that this matter still remains very urgent and that the whole country is holding its breath as to the outcome of the work of the two Committees. You should try and expedite your inquiry, investigations and recommendations as you will make. In the meantime, on behalf of the membership of the House, I want to thank your two Committees for the commitment that you have demonstrated towards this assignment. I am aware that you have had to sit late into the night and that, perhaps, contrary to what some sections of Kenyans would have wanted to believe, you work much longer hours than just the four hours Kenyans believe you sit in this House. In fact, I am reliably informed that those journalists who were covering your proceedings yesterday tired at some point and left you to continue working."
