Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, this is an interesting one. During the previous term, there used to be petitions by an interesting gentleman. I think his name is Mr. Gesame. Once every two weeks, he would send such petitions to the Senate. I think Sen. M. Kajwang' can recall. The Senate decided to vet his petitions before they could be brought to the House. In the last petition, he had sought to have marijuana legalised in the country. I wish Sen. Omogeni was here because his predecessor stood in great defence of that petition. This has reminded me of one similar ...

even do not have secretaries, security and official vehicles. They are denied fuel. There were so many instances that littered across the country where people are elected together as a pair, but when they get to office, things happen. I think the constitutional architecture of the deputies assumed that many would rise to the call of leadership and be civil and decent. Once you are elected as a pair, you may not necessarily have to read from the same script in almost everything, but you work harmoniously. We have examples world over. We borrowed this kind of system from the ...

It is not unusual to find yourself as a governor having views on a particular issue that are not necessarily those of your deputy governor. It is not cast in stone that you must agree with your boss or the person you are working with, yet the Constitution does not provide the avenue of how such disagreements are handled in a proper manner. This has generated a lot of debate across our country, mostly because of the political interest that exists of the current relationship between our President and his Deputy - Scholars and many followers of the political space ...

Some are still working together because the deputy has chosen it for the comfort of their salary and not losing their official car. They could have chosen the peace and path of just lying low like an envelope, as is often said. Yet in reality, they are not living up to the dictates of our Constitution. It is a challenge and I do not know which Committee you will refer this Petition to; perhaps, the Committee on Justice, Human Rights and Legal Affairs. You will determine that in your own discretion. Their findings will be quite interesting. It will be ...

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, even if you want to hold brief for CSs in this House, there is a way people can do it in a more intelligent way. First of all, it is wrong to allege that a colleague has lied. That word is unparliamentary and the Deputy Senate Majority Leader must withdraw and apologise to Sen. Cherargei. If she does not, you know what needs to follow.

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, please stop the Deputy Senate Majority Leader from ranting in the House. It is not right. When she spoke, I was quiet. So, she should allow me to make my point peacefully.
