    "content": " I find that very difficult. My attitude has mainly been--- The trouble of having people seeking to ride on other people’s statements is that, a lot of time, it tends to dilute that statement that is issued on a specific matter that has been raised. Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale wants to know about Bukhungu Stadium. He has raised several specific issues on that stadium. If you talk about Manga Stadium, I do not know what issue you have with it. You would have to seek a statement so that you can get a substantive and specific answer to the issues that you may raise; but if it is a general issue of technicality, then that could be done. Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale has sought a very specific statement. You are already on HANSARD. So, whichever Committee we will commit this to may want to look at what you have said. But I do not wish to see a dilution of a statement sought by a Senator because of so many riders on the issue. On the point of order by Sen. Kagwe, even without asking Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale to answer to it, the Standing Committee on Labour and Social Welfare will have the capacity to look at the issue. Stadia may be a function of the county governments like you have said but we have Article 96 of the Constitution. Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. has quite ably, in the information that he gave you, dealt with the issue of concurrent jurisdiction that both houses may have and there cannot possibly be anything that can stop us as a Senate, from dealing with issues to do with the counties; whether it is nursery schools, polytechnics, stadia or things that are to be found in Part B of Schedule Four of the Constitution. Therefore, Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale is quite in order to bring this matter before the Senate. That disposes of any point of order that Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale may have wished to raise."
