the next session should they wish to prosecute the same. For this reason, I urge all Movers of the Motions to avail themselves in the Chamber whenever their business is listed in the Order Paper to prosecute the same during the reminder of the session.

Lastly, I would wish that my good friend, Sen. Sifuna, could take time to explain to his colleagues from his Minority Side the provisions of Article 249. The command of the Police Service is independent. ...
