However, we have had a tradition in this House where we give a chance to the Senator who sought the statement and we have always deferred to give room and accommodate Senator who sought the statement. Balancing the two positions, I direct that this statement be issued tomorrow with or without the presence of the Senator. I hope that Sen. Njoroge will be informed accordingly that this statement will be issued tomorrow afternoon."}
