    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, we are not angling to make statements here, but we urge you to enforce the rules. The Standing Order quoted by the distinguished Senators who have spoken before me is very clear. I know that Sen. Murkomen might run to Standing Order No.45(2)(d), but it does not apply. It only applies where, for example, the Senate Majority Leader was to move a Bill. If he is not in the House, then he can ask his Deputy to move a Bill. Otherwise, Standing Order No.45(2)(c) is explicit in its entirety. It is either the Senate Majority Leader or the Senate Minority Leader and in our absence, any Member of the Senate Business Committee (SBC) which may include Sen. Ong’era, Sen. Orengo, Sen. Murungi, Sen. Mugo, Sen. Muthama and so on. Nowhere is it said that in our absence, our deputies would issue the statement. Mr. Speaker, Sir, therefore, we urge you to enforce these rules strictly for the future. It reminds me of General Alexander Haig running to a television station and saying he was totally in charge when President Reagan was shot by Hinckley."
