"content": "On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. You have once again risen to the occasion. It was not clear to my mind yesterday how easy the process would be even as we went into that decision, but listening to you, it is clear that it is doable. However, in view of the fact that this is one of the most important decisions that this Senate can make, not just on a governor, but you never know, in the fullness of time, on a President of the Republic of Kenya. Since you are now setting the precedence, you have spoken to the issue of a deliberative session that we shall retreat to. In my best knowledge and I believe it is the same to most of you who have been in Parliament for many years, before we vote on any matter, we debate and we never retreat to go and consider what we were debating so as then to emerge and say we will vote. This will help in convincing the members of the public that we shall not be retreating to go and cut positions or persuade people to change positions. Could you clarify further what it is that we are going to be doing in the deliberative session? You can do it now or later."
