Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I have two points. First, the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) has its records in two formats as provided for by the law; electronic and manual. The Senator purports to be in possession of some documents which she claims are from the IEBC. I have no way of determining whether they are legitimate or illegitimate. However, that I can verify some information from the IECB portal, for instance, Narok County, County No.33; Narok North, Constituency No.179; Olokurto Polling Station, Naituyupaki Primary School, a polling centre with two polling stations. Two polling stations can have a ...

That is a statement of fact, my friend. That is the law. There are no streams anymore. The results from the IEBC portal are as follows:- The candidate who won in that polling station is Mr. Raila Amollo Odinga with 818 votes. The second one is Mr. Uhuru Kenyatta with 100 votes. Mr. Abduba Dida had one vote while the rest had zero. Given what I have provided from the IEBC electronic records, it would be in order for Sen. Judith Pareno to withdraw and apologise to this House. Secondly, even if we were to stick and follow the line ...

Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for giving me this chance. Before making my contribution, I join my colleague, Sen. Haji, who took time to welcome the visiting delegation from Meru County Assembly. They have joined us this afternoon to have a look at how we transact our business and induct themselves on the operations of the Senate. In welcoming them, I personally know how much county assemblies, including the one that I represent, look up to the Senate in terms of procedure and so many things. I get many calls and requests from officers in my county assembly seeking to ...

On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. Given the grave allegations that Sen. Pareno has given on the floor of this House and this being a House of records because at some point, people who do not have the privilege of being here would want to confirm if what she has sad is accurate; is she in order to make such allegations without substantiating? It would be beneficial to this House if the Senator substantiates by giving us more details, for example, the particular polling station that had 5,000 votes cast. That is a great anomaly. To the ...

Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for the chance to contribute to this important Motion bearing in mind that our country is living in very interesting times. Future generations would want to refer to this particular moment and they will want to know what the leaders did to the country during that monumental time. At this moment, every Kenyan of goodwill is worried for this country. They are imagining what will happen in the next 28-29 days that may change the destiny of this country for good or for bad. It is my prayer and sincere hope that as leaders ...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me this chance. I rise to support the Motion, but before I do so, let me join my colleagues in congratulating the Deputy Speaker, Sen. (Prof.) Kithure Kindiki, on his election. Let me now move to my contribution. First, I note that this is an extremely important Motion. One of my colleagues, when contributing, pointed to the very important nature of the business that we are transacting this afternoon. Without the Senate passing this Schedule, many of the counties will grind to a halt. I am reliably informed that during one of the ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, in respect of time, I humbly request that each Senator be restricted to speak for two minutes so that we are within time. There is quite some interest from my colleagues. It is now six minutes past six O’clock. We have 24 minutes. Maybe you could allocate three minutes.
