    "content": "This is exactly what we are trying to do. It is like discussing a certain county and its operations when Vasco Da Gama was the governor. Therefore, having listened to the concerns, comments and the beautiful report from the Chairman of the Sessional Committee on County Public Accounts and Investment Committee (CPAIC), I would like to invoke Standing Order No.1, because that way, we can make certain directives as we are about to. It states- “In all cases where matters are not expressly provided for by these Standing Orders or by other Orders of the Senate, any procedural question shall be decided by the Speaker”. The words “expressly provided for”, in my view, does not just mean a matter not addressed by the Standing Orders. Standing Order No.1 can be applied even if the same matter to which the Standing Order is being applied, the same matter has been provided for, but it is not expressly provided for. So, that “expressly provided for” means that the provision could be there, but it is not express in its relationship to the matter to which it is being applied. That is why the law keeps on saying “notwithstanding any other section or provision on this matter”. Therefore, I invoke Standing Order No.1 and direct that the report that has just been presented by the Chairperson of CPAIC be supplied to the Senate Business Committee (SBC) as requested by the Senate Minority Leader for further The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
