Hon. Deputy Speaker, if you agree with me, the Supreme Court has not made a decision on that document. As of today, based on the Court of Appeal and the High Court, it is null and void and unconstitutional and anything that is null and void is nonsense. I stand by it and I am not withdrawing; BBI is nonsense. You can even throw me out.

I will go and consult our new Governor Waiguru to deal with you. That is on a light touch. I want to thank Hon. Mille for the good advice but it looks like Hon. Millie is saved. She will appear in my memoir which is coming out next year on her behaviour in the 11th Parliament. Finally, the issue between the Senate and this House is something that has been recurring.

The dismal performance of the March-May long rainy season compounded by the effect of COVID-19 and the poor performance of the previous short rains attribute to this situation. The NDMA projects the situation to worsen further and that 2.4 million Kenyans in that Region will suffer during the October-December period if the short rains, as forecasted, fail.
