Olekina","speaker_title":"","speaker":{"id":407,"legal_name":"Ledama Olekina","slug":"ledama-olekina"},"content":"Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I wonder why we have an Order Paper because a distinguished Senator does not know on which Standing Order I am making my statement. I am making a statement under Standing Order No. 46(2)(a). I ask the distinguished friend from Kericho County to learn and understand our Standing Orders. I am focusing on matters of national interest. The Standing Orders are very clear. Allow me to read Standing Order 46 (2)(a) because this matter is very important. It says:- “A Senator may make a statement on a county issue or on an issue of general topical concern.” The issues I raised are of general concerned. They are not under Standing Order 46(2)(b). Finally, I reemphasize on the need for this House to pay attention to what is happening in this country. It should follow up on the issues that I have raised. If there are issues brought about by the Government, particularly by the ADC, they should be resolved so that our people can live in peace."}
