Mr. Speaker, Sir, the issue that Sen. Cheruiyot has raised is urgent and pregnant. It is pregnant because information reaching me is that tomorrow there will be attempts by some quarters - and I do not know who they are - to withdraw the petition that was filed by this House during my tenure as the Senate Majority Leader, that is, Petition No.3.

On the issue that has been canvassed widely, I thought that you were going to make a closing statement. You were to make a statement, but I do not know at which point, so that we close on that issue. I would like Sen Orengo and Sen. Omogeni to listen to me on this one, Sen. Orengo being our Senior Counsel.
