I would like to inform Sen. Were and the House that, indeed, because I think that there is lack of clarity, and if Kenyans are listening, they might think that I am a very lazy Vice Chairperson of the Committee on Security, Defence and Foreign Relations. I resigned months ago, not for any bad reasons, but because I like being effective. I am the Chairperson of the Committee on Labour and Social Services and Sen. (Dr.) Musuruve will tell you that I am very effective in both the Committee on Labour and Social Services and the Ad hoc Committee on the COVID-19 situation in Kenya. I wanted to focus on those two Committees. Even Sen. (Dr.) Milgo will tell you that she is my Vice Chairperson. Subsequent to that, I would still have supported the Committee. However, I was de-whipped by the former leadership. I want to encourage Sen. Omanga, Sen. Cherargei and Sen. Nderitu that this de-whipping started in the last regime. I was de-whipped by Sen. Murkomen and Sen. Kihika. So, be courageous and strong; the Book of Joshua 1:9."}
