Kembi-Gitura","speaker_title":"The Deputy Speaker","speaker":{"id":242,"legal_name":"James Kembi Gitura","slug":"kembi-gitura"},"content":"Hon. Senators, we have come to the end of the active proceedings. As the Programme shows, we will go into a closed session for a period not exceeding one hour. The closed session means that everybody who is not a Senator or an officer of the Senate will withdraw from the Chamber and the Gallery so that we can have our own deliberations on the issues that you have raised. I want to thank you very much for all the issues that both the parties have raised to us. Therefore, we will make a decision. So, please withdraw from the Chamber. I request you to come back at exactly 8.15 p.m. The Serjeant-at-Arms and orderlies will show you back to where you will sit. At that time, we shall then proceed in open House and, hopefully, complete the proceedings this evening. So ordered."}
