    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I wish to join my colleagues in congratulating the Speaker for that ruling. It is a ruling that we have been eagerly waiting for. In fact, we were hoping that it would come yesterday. I have sat in the CPAIC since its inception and seen what we have gone through. In fact, we have a backlog because the governors used to go to the courts to actually curtail our work. Being the law-abiding citizens that we are, we respected that. We were not able to invite them for about eight or nine months and that is exactly why this Committee has a lot of work. We meet from 8.00 a.m. and sit throughout the day because there is a lot of work. It is our responsibility to actually generate reports to this Committee. My personal view, of course, is that the scuffle that happened between the Senator for Nairobi and Governor of Nairobi City County was unfortunate. However, I also want to thank the leadership of this House and the Committee for showing the way forward. In fact, our Chairman gave a personal statement immediately and sought the way forward and direction. I hope that we will maintain that spirit. It was unfortunate to actually see the CoGs jump into this issue immediately. It appears like they had planned for it because The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate"
