On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I know that you had passed Statement (c), but the Senate Majority Leader is here and you had sent Sen. Murungi to him. Would you be kind enough to give him the message directly because he is here?

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I think the Deputy Speaker has clarified. I, therefore, request that the wording in the Statement be corrected. I understood it the way he has explained. This is a case on the recommendations of the Committee and we have no issue. Thank you.
