If you need time, the best you can do is approach with wisdom and caution and request the Majority Leader to share his time; not to address the Speaker right now the way you have because you were not there when that opportunity was closed out. If you wish I have given you a guide. If you wish to share the time with the Majority Leader, approach him. You were not in the House. If I insist on procedure, I will ask the Majority Leader to proceed. That is why I have given you a chance to ask him to give you time. Also, you have not explored the avenue available to you under Standing Order No.110. Were you in the House when Sen. Cherarkey finished? Sen. Eddy, you can do better than you are doing now. I have guided you under Standing Order No.110. I will then ask the Majority Leader to proceed."},{"id":1591616,"url":"http://info.mzalendo.com/api/v0.1/hansard/entries/1591616/?format=json","text_counter":373,"type":"speech","speaker_name":"Sen.

The most important part of the Bill is where we do work, which is what is called the Committee of the Whole. If you feel, as I listened to Sen. Beatrice, share the things you want to change in the Bill. I have listened to Sen. Cherarkey also on parts of the Bill that he feels need to be amended. I want to appreciate colleagues who took time to contribute to this Bill. On Tuesday, actually, I mentioned on the need for colleagues to remain in the House.

Cheruiyot","speaker_title":"The Senate Majority Leader","speaker":null,"content":"sitting time is not that long. Just four hours, three times a week with the exception of Wednesday. Virtually every other evening, many of you do not remain in the House with the exception of maybe Sen. Mungatana, Sen. Cherarkey. Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale also does a fairly good job. There are hardly 10 Senators who see the rise of the House at 6.30 p.m., every other afternoon, and we must learn to practice that. From the old people that I found in this House when I came here, they would stay until 6.30 p.m. and they were fairly very senior people; people who had served as Cabinet Ministers, and so on and so forth. I wish my colleagues in this current Thirteenth Parliament could borrow that practice, because for some reason, people actually find it hard to stay until 6.30 p.m. Madam Temporary Speaker, I appreciate the two colleagues who contributed to this Bill. I know there are many others who would have wished to, but such is work. I have become accustomed to this, actually, that on many occasions when I move Bills, two, three other people speak, the rest say, oh, we want to put this to a vote, so that we conclude. Nonetheless, we have to make do with what we have. With those many remarks, I beg to reply. Madam Temporary Speaker, pursuant to Standing Order No.66(3), I want to request the deferment of the putting of a question until a later date. I thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker."},{"id":1591620,"url":"http://info.mzalendo.com/api/v0.1/hansard/entries/1591620/?format=json","text_counter":377,"type":"speech","speaker_name":"Sen.
