Murkomen","speaker_title":"The Senate Majority Leader","speaker":{"id":440,"legal_name":"Onesimus Kipchumba Murkomen","slug":"kipchumba-murkomen"},"content":"I have been asked in this House when you were sitting in the Chair to withdraw a Motion, which was a constitutional amendment. I really beg my colleague, Sen. Olekina, whom we sit together in the Senate Business Committee, to allow us room to ventilate over this issue. For you to give a proper ruling on that particular issue, we should stay the debate for the time being until the Speaker gives a proper rule on the constitutionality of that position. This is because the substratum of this Motion will be lost if we do not deal with that matter."}
