I reckon that, maybe, we now have to go back and do what we have to do in Murang’a. The Senate is entrusted with issues like the one we are dealing with today and issues of oversight under Article 96 of our Constitution.

These are issues that we must take very seriously because this is not the last time that we will get a proceeding like the one that we are having today.

It is pursuant to that, that then these proceedings follow. If you look at the report because I have taken a The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
