I urge Members to look at the Report that has been laid---

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I agree that Sen. Cherargei and Sen. Sakaja were not given the chance they should have had before the Committee. However, that does not mean that as a Committee we did not consider what was before us which was the threat and arrest of Sen. Malalah, Sen.(Dr.) Lelegwe and the Sen.(Dr.) Lang’at.
