Well, procedurally, we might have that precedence but our Standing Orders are very clear. They say the next day. It is something that we might have to consider substantially. However, in keeping with that Standing Orders, I would like to rule that on both business and Orders No.s 12 and 13 be deferred until we vote on them on Tuesday, 17th June, 2014 next week at 3.00 pm. We will vote for both the business listed under the Orders number 12 and 13,

Thank you, Sen. Khalwale. I can see the Senate Minority Leader is scared away from a discussion he has been having with Senate Majority Leader. There was a ruling from the Chair, in the past, that it does not matter which side a Member sits. The sitting arrangement is not confined to a Member sitting in a particular area. I have been notified that business under Orders No.14 and 15 are also deferred until a day and time that will be decided by the Rules and Business Committee.

Order, Sen. Khalwale. Whereas you must be ready, any time, as the Bible says; “you must be ready for the coming of Jesus.” The fact that you were notified by the Clerk’s Office, this is a House of traditions and rules. Under Standing Order No.39 (2), I am empowered to alter the business of the House in the best interest of the House in a reasonable manner. For that reason, I would like to invite the Chair of the Standing Committee on Information and Technology to proceed with the next Order.

(Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki): Mr. Speaker, Sir, thank you for the opportunity to contribute to the debate on this beautiful Report from the Committee on Education, Information and Technology which is one of our committees which has done very well in terms of keeping the spirit of devolution alive. I say so because this is one of the Committees which has been conducting countywide tours across the country, which for me is the game changer in the way Parliament relates with the people we represent.
