    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I beseech Members who are with us today to listen to me. Kenya is listening to us and looking at us. Our actions here today can easily put this country in a very bad position. Our actions here today can burn this country tomorrow. Therefore, what we have before us here squarely lies on Standing Order No. 29(3) and (5). Standing Order No.29(3) states thus: “The Speaker shall, by notice in the Gazette, notify the Members of the place, date and time appointed for the special sitting of the House.” It is not explicit on the end time but the time that the meeting starts. Standing Order No. 29(5) states that during the Special Sitting, the time will lapse after the debate has actually been finished. I want to disagree with my colleague Hon. Olago Aluoch. If it is not provided for here in the Standing Orders then we revert to Standing Order No.1whereby the Speaker must decide. Hon. Speaker, my view is that the Hon. Speaker should immediately decide, move forward and finish this matter. We should not be arguing on these small issues here. The gist of the matter is the Motion before us and that is what we should bring here. When we are debating, let us be calm. Kenya is looking at us and we must ensure that we lead this country in the right path."
