"content": " Hon. Senators, as you are aware, the National Prayer Breakfast is an annual event in the Calendar of Parliament. It is an interdenominational prayer meeting sponsored by Members from both Houses of Parliament. The event is coordinated by an Organizing Committee which has been working closely with the Kenya National Prayer Breakfast Coordination Team. The Organizing Committee is co-chaired by Sen. Daniel Maanzo, MP and Hon. Samuel Chepkonga, MP, of the National Assembly. The National Prayer Breakfast has been instrumental in fostering national healing, reconciliation and understanding on the challenges that face our country. The event will undoubtedly continue to be a uniting forum for our national ethos. Hon. Senators, this year’s National Prayer Breakfast is scheduled to be held on Wednesday, 28th May, 2025 at the Safari Park Hotel in Nairobi, from 7.00 a.m. The theme for the event is “Rise and Rebuild.” I, therefore, take this opportunity to invite all Senators to the 22nd Edition of the National Prayer Breakfast. Further details relating to the event will be given through the Office of the Clerk of the Senate."

The delegation comprises six teachers and 126 students who are in the Senate for a one-day academic exposition. Hon. Senators, in our usual tradition of receiving and welcoming visitors to Parliament, I extend a warm welcome to them. On behalf of the Senate and my own behalf, I wish them a fruitful visit. I will call upon the Majority Leader to extend a word of welcome to the delegation under one minute. You may proceed, Majority Leader. Let the delegation be properly acknowledged and celebrated by the Majority Leader."

(Dr.) Khalwale be compelled to meet with the students and buy them lunch. Otherwise, I welcome these students that have joined us this afternoon to follow proceedings here in the Senate. Welcome to the Senate of the Republic of Kenya. I hope that you have a full value for the time that you have taken."

The clarification I seek is that in that meeting, I was in the minority. I would prefer that if such a thing should take place, it should be pursuant to Standing Order No.29. If it is indeed true, why are we not pursuing Standing Order No.29? Instead, we are allowing this dignitary to sneak into this very important meeting for discussing the formula for sharing revenue."

Prime Minister and Party Leader for the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) will be coming for purposes of consulting with Members of the Senate on the Division Allocation Formula (DAF). He is not coming pursuant to the Standing Order that you have just invoked. He is coming in a consultative forum, where we will sit to hear his thoughts and thereafter, we will also put our heads together as the House behind a closed door to deliberate and try to see if we can hammer consensus on this formula. As and when he is coming to address the Senate in open plenary, then certainly that Standing Order will be invoked, but not for purposes of tomorrow's meeting. Proceed, Senator for Nandi."
