Mr. Speaker, Sir, would I be in order to request you that we re-arrange the Order Paper in order to allow us prosecute those particular businesses in that order? Once we conclude on those changes, our Committees can start work even as our colleagues in the Minority side rearrange and plan themselves. I humbly request that we do that. If we conclude in good time, we will have a few procedural Motions as well, which we do not intend to debate. They are mundane, but important things like the Parliamentary Calendar and limitations of debate time; basic things which we ...

have made the right decision by deciding to come work with and study in the Parliament of Kenya. An even more correct decision was to come to the Senate. Parliament of Kenya has two Houses.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I do not know if my colleague, Sen. M. Kajwang’, has the same Supplementary Order Paper that has just been circulated. As per the Order Paper, once we finished listing the Messages, we moved to Petitions. Immediately after Petitions, we moved to Papers which I guess is what is subject to his protestations.

These are ordinary reports that we receive in the ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I completely agree with the Senate Minority Leader. If it were as he has explained, then I would agree with him. Unfortunately, that is not what happened in this Chamber. When Sen. Mundigi rose to speak, the Minority side was actually heckling him. It was because of the heckling and the noise that was being made that he missed your instructions. Mr. Speaker, Sir, you know very well that Sen. Mundigi is extremely respectful. Anytime you, as the Speaker, has guided him on what to do, he has always respected you. The issue is that when he ...
