Including Chiefs and Kings. Mr. Speaker Sir, I have no problem with a clarification being sought by Rtd. Justice Sen. Madzayo. However, the problem is that it is totally unprocedural for him to just rise up somewhere from the blues. There was no point of order. He just asked for clarification. There is nothing like clarification.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, that subject was dispensed with long time ago. It was not part of the issues that were on the Floor. Being a senior person who has been here serving a second term, he should have known the procedure. That is why in his second term, he should not be making certain mistakes and attempting to confuse the Speaker. Now that I am being requested to keep it brief, I was at the point where I was saying that as Senate, the Senate Business Committee needs to prioritize certain legislation and certain businesses this time round, for example, ...

Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. who spoke passionately about the desire to strengthen this House and stop what they called political madness. Sen.

On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Earlier on, we had – I am sure there will be communication from the Chair. We had a Kamukunji to deliberate and be apprised of the process of voting which is okay. The only thing that has just come to my mind is that at what stage does the voting end?

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to move the following Motion:- THAT, pursuant to Standing Order No. 31(3)(a), the Senate resolves to extend its sitting time today, Thursday, 14th December, 2017, until the conclusion of the business appearing on the Order Paper.

I would have moved this Motion before 6.00p.m. However, on the advice of the Clerk and yourself, since the House was in suspension, there was no way we were going to move it. The reason for extension of this time is because we still have a lot of pending business ...
