    "content": "How does one accept the explanation that an officer is travelling? The law is very clear that until you get a written letter from the President, nothing else will excuse any person especially in Government from appearing before the House or responding to issues sought by the House. That is the law. So, I think the outrage by Members is that you should not have accepted that in the first instance because it is nothing. Secondly, we are talking about a stated Government policy. I said yesterday that this is something that the Government is self committed to from the days of the Grand Coalition Government to this particular one. When we have a stated Government policy, it should be all systems go, especially on a matter like this one. In fact, Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. put it that; which other condition do you need other than the birth of a child? You do not want to deal with children who cannot speak because we do want them to cry as sign of life and also you will risk the lives of the mothers who are already alive. That is basically what we are doing. 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"
