    "content": "requests by Senators who want to speak, but we do not have time. We are way past the Statements Hour. I have noted that the Statement raises sensitive and important issues. I have also noted that Sen. Cherargei did not request the Chair to refer that matter to any Committee. However, I direct as follows. It will not be possible because of time limits to allow any further comments on what Sen. Cherargei has stated before the House. However, in order to entertain Senators who may be interested to pursue this matter further, I will exercise the powers under Standing Order No.47(3) which states as follows:- “The Speaker may, where appropriate, refer a Statement made under Paragraph (1) to the relevant Committee for consideration.” I direct the responsible Committee to take it up and report back within two weeks. During the consideration of this matter, I direct the Committee to engage with Sen. Cherargei who has sought the Statement and any other Senator who has some input and the report must be thorough. That requires engaging the highest level within the administration of the National Security, which includes the CS and the Head of Police who is the Inspector-General of Police. It is so ordered."
