Sen. (Dr.) Zani Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like to add to his Statement.

Sen. (Dr.) Zani It is a query.

Sen. (Dr.) Zani I am following up on his reply.

Sen. (Dr.) Zani Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for this opportunity. I decided to rise because the Chairperson mentioned the issue of small arms. The proliferation of small arms is a serious issue. However, the way he mentioned it is as if it is a way of life in this...

Sen. (Dr.) Zani Mr. Speaker, Sir, the issue arising from the answer is the casual manner in which the serious issue of small arms has been handled. Should I stop there?

Madam Temporary Speaker, I rise to contribute to the Report of the Joint Committees of Devolved Government and Legal Affairs and Human Rights. Madam Temporary Speaker, having gone through the Report in a very short time, it was a good indication of actually what our counties can be like. But...

Order, hon. Senators! That brings us to the end of today’s business. You will appreciate that the Speaker had ruled that this goes for three hours. It is only 15 minutes to time. ADJOURNMENT
