    "content": " On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. You cited Standing Order 227 and were absolutely right. In committing the petition to a Committee, the Standing Order is very clear. You may allow some comments, which you normally do, or commit the petition right away. That is provided for. Standing Order 228 must be read very carefully. It says: “The Clerk shall forward copies of responses received under Standing Order 227 (Committal of Petitions) to the petitioner or petitioners.” That Standing Order does not exclude comments, debates or passing on that petition to the Committee on Implementation or agencies of governance like the Criminal Investigations Department (CID), Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) and others. Where then do you get the answer? You go back to Standing Order No.1 (2) which says:- “The decisions made in paragraph (1) shall be based on the Constitution of Kenya, statute law and the usages, forms, precedents, customs, procedures, traditions of Parliament of Kenya and other jurisdictions to the extent that these are applicable to Kenya.” The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate"
