Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I am seeking your guidance, in view of the fact that there are no more contributors to this Motion.

Madam Temporary Speaker, I do not know whether I have time to say what I intend to say since the clock is ticking.

Unfortunately, you did not manage to conclude your statement. This is a Bill and going by the interests and the number of Senators who want to contribute to the Bill, I assure you that it will be in the Order Paper tomorrow. December 3, 2014 SENATE DEBATES

Sen. Muthama Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I am not quite aware, but I hear that under “kumi kumi” ten people are organized by Government. That kind of thing without being anchored in any law is useless. That is why we need to marry the devolution structure with the...
