However, the House recalls that a few weeks ago, he gave us an interim Statement concerning the programme of President Barack Obama in Kenya. One of the things he promised was that when the visit of the President will be nearer, he will give a confirmation of whether the President will address this Senate. Could the Senate Majority Leader tell us now that it is confirmed that the nearest we can get is to be part of a crowd at Kasarani Stadium for the Address of the President, why the Government failed to convince the President to talk to the top leadership of this country in this Senate? Could he also confirm that maybe the reason they failed is because the President is disappointed with the way the National Assembly has been fighting for the disbandment of the institution charged with fighting corruption?"}
