Malalah","speaker_title":"","speaker":{"id":13195,"legal_name":"Cleophas Wakhungu Malalah","slug":"cleophas-wakhungu-malalah-2"},"content":"Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I believe that this is a matter of public importance and it is important that we put aside the sideshows. We know that many people have interest in this matter and I plead with you to make a ruling at this juncture, so that we know if the Motion will be moved. Today, I spoke with the Chairperson of this Committee, because I am the Deputy Minority Leader and he is a Member of my team. The Chairperson is attending to a patient and is not able to attend this Sitting. He gave me express orders to delegate the responsibility of moving the Motion to his Vice Chairperson, who is not a Member of my coalition or Sen. Olekina who is ready to move. Therefore, I would like to request the Chair to make a ruling on this matter, so that we can move on because it is a matter of public interest. Thank you."}
