Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like to pass my condolences to the family, the wife, children and the extended family of Hon. George Muchai. I also extend my condolences to the people of Kabete Constituency and all the affected persons who knew the Hon. Member in person. It is shocking when you know very well that somewhere, less than 200 metres from this great House of Parliament, just near Harambee House, near the supposedly protected Nyayo House, just less than 20 metres from Nyayo House and in the full glare of cameras and street lights, that one can be killed ...

(Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki): Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I think the intention of the Motion is to increase only the speaking time for Senators in an Adjournment Motion from 10 to 15 minutes.
