Thank you very much, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for this opportunity. Firs to all, I would like to congratulate my friend, Sen. Naisula Lesuuda for this very important Motion. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for many years, the pastoralist communities have been left behind because of either deliberate policy decisions, like Sessional Paper No.10 of 1965 or through ignorance in terms of policy implementers, particularly in understanding the importance of livestock. In fact, there are many papers and statements in the public that have always somehow tried to label pastoralist life as backward and that pastoralist communities need to be reclaimed ...

I will be hesitant to use that Standing Order because that will mean that we do it tomorrow.

Order, hon. Senators! Sen. Haji has brought before this House a very important Motion. Upon the conclusion of his reply, he actually wants the Chair to exercise some level of wisdom and ensure that this Motion is voted for next week. However, Standing Order No.51 reads:- “(1)When a Motion has been moved and if necessary seconded, the Speaker shall propose the question thereon in the same terms as the Motion, and debate may then take place upon that question. (2) At the conclusion of the debate, the Speaker shall put the question. (3) Despite paragraph (2), the Speaker may, on ...
