Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I rarely differ with my brother here on the left but for this one, I beg to differ because this House had a position on the clauses that were sent to mediation committee and I would like to know what became of that. Was our point of view taken or did we take the point of view of the other House, if anything, for comfort? I want to accept your invitation and move, under Standing Order No.99, that this Motion be suspended until another time. I thank you.

Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I thank Sen. Wangari for raising the issue of “misuse of firearms” by the police or the security agents.

On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Chairperson, Sir. I would also like to seek a clarification from the distinguished Chair.

Mr. Temporary Chairperson, Sir, the Chair means very well. I also know that we dealt with this matter in the Committee on Energy over the weekend. What we are trying to cure is indefinite delay.
