    "content": "(Sen. (Prof) Kindiki): Mr. Temporary Chairman, Sir, I am glad that Sen. Murungi, my senior in the profession, has adduced more justification why we should not entertain what Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. is trying to introduce. My last point, in the same vein, is that the Standing Orders allow the Senate to proceed if a Committee does not work. We give them time to consider the Bills as the expert group. This Bill has been with us for a long time and the Budget will be read next week, and Kenyans are waiting. These are some of the things that give this House a bad name. I would have been happy to see those amendments. We cannot prosecute unknown amendments where there is no Mover and nobody from that Committee with any brief. This Order Paper has been on the website since last evening and we have had a whole month of recess. This is one of the most critical Bills that we have every year. Mr. Temporary Chairman, Sir, with all due respect, I want you to find this Committee contemptuous of this House and lethargic in their work."
