I hope that will go to the HANSARD, which is a record of Parliament, that the Speaker allowed the full traditional regalia in the Chamber. Thank you because as the Senator for the people of Narok, I have had an opportunity to defend their culture. I want to assure the good Senator for Nandi County that a “ rungu ” is a sign of leadership. It is not a weapon. It is something that allows and gives me more courage when I am speaking about issues that we are deliberating in this Parliament."}
