"content": "something that needs to be done during recess, possibly by the Committee or the Senate leadership, to find out whether there is an intervention that can unlock this stalemate. We have looked at the law in Article 222 and 223 of the Constitution, and it appears that it does not have a solution to what we have now. Given the gravity of this matter, I encourage a few more observations, although we are almost extinguishing our Statements hour. I will apply Standing Order No.1 and extend the Statements hour, so that we can get a few observations, and perhaps, make a resolution or recommendation of some kind, which the Chair will give in form of directions. The limit in Standing Order No.51, which Sen. (Eng.) Mahamud has used, is 20 minutes. However, I am willing to expand that timeline. Finally, you will discover that under Standing Order No.51, the Speaker is not given the discretion to commit the matter to a Committee. However, given that this is a situation that is not anticipated in law or the Standing Orders, it is a matter for which Standing Order No.1 applies. Therefore, I will be more than happy, after listening to you, to give directions to the Committee, to see what it can do on behalf of the House as we proceed on recess. I would like to hear from the Senator for Migori County."
