have taken charge of our media. When I did that, Nation Media Group went and did a caricature interview about me for seven good minutes on Prime Time. Sen. Wambua, is that the Media ethics that they taught us? That is not the kind of media practice we want in this country. Mr. Speaker, Sir, therefore, there will be an opportunity when Sen. Sifuna’s Motion has gone through the processes of approval, for us to all speak about the kind of press freedom we want in our country. We want freedom that is not one sided. That freedom should not ...

insurance and somebody has to start from scratch again. We said at the beginning of our term that this is the Senate that will deal with matters to finality. Enough is enough with many of these common problems that keep on appearing and reappearing before this Floor. I urge my good friend, Sen. Sifuna, together with the Committee on Lands Environment and Natural Resources – at the heart of this fight is the title deed and nothing else. From President Kibaki, President Uhuru Kenyatta and President Moi who I can recall visiting this place while passing on Jogoo road. He ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, this is very interesting information we are listening to this morning. I listened very keenly to Sen. Chute, especially when he rose on a point of order, though, ideally, he is not permitted, but you allowed him. That was very good. The information he brought has allowed us as a House to know. Sen. Chute had said that they are more than five companies, while the CS had stated earlier on that there are four or five companies that enjoy preferential treatment. That is if I followed through what he said. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the reason we ...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I appreciate the answers that the Cabinet Secretary has given more so on what we are doing as a country. This is because it is embarrassing that we are gathered here in the 21st century - a big economy in this region - and still debating about importation. His answers needs to be more reassuring on what we are doing for us to stop relying on farmers from other regions.

Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I followed your introductory remarks when welcoming this delegation. I realized that you may have forgotten to introduce my good friend and a good gentleman, the Hon. Shakeel Shabbir who is part of the delegation. When I saw him, I thought that this is his African Parliamentarians Network Against Corruption (APNAC) delegation, but this is a rotary club of Nairobi. I know the kind of work that the rotary club do. We celebrate them for the great work that they do for humanity. I hope they will have a full value for the time ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I thank you for your Communication. I want to react to something that you have said in the Communication for emphasis sake and ease of operability, especially with our colleague Senators. Mr. Speaker, Sir, you have mentioned the re-arrangement of the process through which we get Cabinet Secretaries to appear before this House. It will serve colleague Senators well to note that this is not a departure in any way from the obtaining practice presently. It is only for ease of operation, both for us, as Senators, and for the Cabinet Secretaries as well. We have seen ...
