"content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, I commend Sen. Ledama Olekina for making his statement. I only wish, for future, when making statements under Standing Order No.46, that it should not be this and that. It must be either the asking for a statement from the House or making a personal statement. The issues the Senator has canvassed are the ones that took us one-hour canvassing through the statement I responded to. So that it becomes easy, we would have spent all that hour speaking to his personal statement instead of dealing with the answers as provided by the Cabinet Secretary. Secondly, I let the Senate Minority Leader escape on some of the things. You know when you make a statement that the Cabinet Secretary calls himself Chinkororo--- . I was in that meeting in Kisii, and he spoke in the Kisii language. I am very sure that the Senate Minority Leader is not a Kisii speaker and he cannot pretend to be a certified interpreter of the Kisii Language to either Kiswahili or English. May be, the Senator for Kisii County can be the right person and any other Kisii speaking Kenyan. However, you know even in interpreting a statement, you must come with a certified certificate that shows that you speak the same language. When I asked what the Cabinet Secretary said in that rally, I was just told that he said, “I belong to the clan of warriors among the Kisii.” I also belong to a clan of warriors in Elgeyo-Marakwet, but it does not mean that I go fight any other time of the day. More importantly--- The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes"
