    "content": "Mr. Speaker Sir, I seek further guidance. Of course, the Speaker can never be out of order. Your ruling is as it is, but when the Motion comes, will I read my Statement or debate? This is because I have a Statement, but I would also want to debate based on the discussion that goes on – as has been the tradition – as the Senator of the primarily affected county. Sen. Orengo has said that it is an international issue. I would also want to speak last to respond to some of the questions asked, or to give clarity to what I might know is going on in Nairobi City County. Will I be allowed to do both? I know that the Standing Orders say that you cannot speak twice on debate. If we follow the strict reading of Standing Order 47(1), a Statement is not a debate. I am not trying to debate; I am just giving a Statement. That notwithstanding, seeing that you have already given a ruling, will I be allowed to give my Statement under Standing Order 47(1), even if I read it tomorrow? This is because I need to give this Statement for the record of the House and for posterity. Even as we debate later, I must give this Statement on the Floor of the House, as the Senator of Nairobi."
