Mr. Speaker, Sir, I hate to interrupt what is being presented. There is a word that has continually been used both by the Assembly and now by the Executive which does not fall under the purview of either English or Swahili, which are the languages of instruction in the Senate. Perhaps, we need your determination if it is okay for them to continue to use it and for those of us who do not understand that language to be given a---

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I listened keenly when the Senate Majority Leader was making his remarks. I was keen and wanted to know how he will approach the kind of reservations being raised. Up to the point that he was interrupted by the Senate Minority Leader, all he had said is that in making his decision, he will be guided by the determination on whether or not the county assembly had the quorum. He had not reached a point of saying how he will make that decision.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, the HANSARD always bears truth. If there is anybody who doubts that those are the words that he used, let them check the HANSARD. I am not sure how we will proceed after these interventions, but up to the point that he was interrupted, he had not declared.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I will try to be brief, but also logical and not legal. This is because there is an attempt in this House to reduce every engagement to become a legal process, so that you lock out the majority of the Members The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, when Speaker Ethuro made a ruling on allowing Gov. Gachagua to bring additional evidence before this House, he asked a very simple question: “Why are we here, Senators? We are here to try and establish the truth”. It is in that decision that I want to form the basis of my argument. Let us be guided by logic, and not just the law. Secondly, we are being told that there is evidence that was placed before us. I asked a very simple but logical question: Why do we bring witnesses before the Senate? Why do we keep ...

Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. This is a sagacious and well-thought out ruling. It is measured in every aspect of your findings and it is extremely deep. I have listened to my colleagues raise very valid points. It is said that to whom much is given, much more is expected. Kenyans insulated the Judiciary from any outside influence and you have alluded to that. It is, therefore, expected that as they go about their duty, they will protect the rights of the citizens above and beyond any other influence.This is one such instance and you have given good examples ...
