    "content": " Sen. Kivuti, you cannot thank me for not giving an answer. I have an obligation to you and this House to give answers at the time they are requested or give them later but giving, I must give. So, I find it not in good faith for you to thank me for nothing. More fundamentally, I actually gave a ruling. I invite you to look for Standing Order No. 92 which has been read to you. In fact, to add on what Sen. Khaniri, who is your Vice Chairman has said, for him to feel compelled to assist the Chair, it means it is important. A Senator alleging that a matter is sub judice shall provide evidence to show that paragraphs (2) and (3) are applicable. You have not provided any evidence to me. So, if you provided the evidence to the Chair, the more reason why you should accept my directive. I said the matter is being handled by a Committee of the Chair which I directed from this Chair. I cannot go back to remove the work that I have delegated to a Committee and yet they have reported progress. In fact, you are a Member of that Committee. More fundamentally in terms of saying resources may be used, you note in Standing Order No. 92 (5) that notwithstanding this Standing Order, the Speaker may allow reference to any matter before the Senate or a Committee. Do I need to say more? I, therefore, rule Sen. Kivuti out of order. We will proceed. Before you raise your point of order, you better read the Standing Orders first. Let us go back to Statement A. I can see the Chairperson, Committee on Finance, Commerce and Budget. STATUS OF THE EQUALIZATION FUND"
