    "content": "(Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki): Thank you, Sen. M. Kajwang’. As you have realised, the law does not say the time which the Senate should take in considering such an application. But as you have said, the values of public service demand that you act promptly, efficiently and in the public good; in other words, without unreasonable delay. Likewise, it is my view that once the Committee has submitted the report to the Senate, notwithstanding that there are no timelines by which the decision of the Senate will be conveyed to the President, the decision must be conveyed within a reasonable time. In my view, that reasonable time should be such a time period as is normally the case when the Senate is communicating its legislative decisions to the Head of State. Normally it is within 14 days. It is so, ordered. In the mean time, the relevant Committee can look at the Urban Areas and Cities Act and see whether they could tighten that aspect and other aspects of the law. That is why we are here. We keep on improving the law all the time. Thank you, Senators."
