    "content": "(Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki): Order, hon. Senators, I see the table of requests is still fairly full. Unfortunately, we have overshot our time. As you are aware, the Statement Hour should not proceed for more than one hour. We are now going past the one hour mark. Fortunately, we shall end it there. This is not the end of the debate and there will be another opportunity to vent on it, if need be. Hon. Senators, the reason I allowed an overshoot on time is because this is a matter of grave national importance, because we are talking about the future of our children and that of our nation. Sen. Sakaja, among other speakers, have captured the matter as graphically as it ought to have been captured. Therefore, I will exercise my discretion under Standing Order 47. As you are aware, this Statement was brought under Standing Order 47(3), which says:- “The Speaker may, where appropriate, refer a Statement made under paragraph (1) to the relevant Committee for consideration.” Hon. Senators, having determined that this is a serious matter appropriate for reference to the relevant Committee, I rule that the matter, as raised in this Statement, be seized by the Committee on Education jointly with the Senate Committee on Labour and Senate Social Welfare. I further direct that when the Committees finish their work, they should report, not only to the Senator, but also to the House. It is so ordered. The Statements by Sen. Mwaruma are deferred."
