This Senate must have this conversation. Otherwise, we shall be here for 10 years. Others will go while others come back, but the issue of inequality will remain. This is a House of equality. We must bring the country together. Wale watu wa --- Pardon me. I wanted to use Kiswahili so that the people from North Eastern can hear me properly.

Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. Let me declare that I am a Member of this Committee and therefore, I am fully behind the moving statement by the chairperson of our committee as seconded by the Vice Chairperson. There is nothing I did not say in the Committee that I could say here. However, if it was not because of the Sub Judice principle, which makes it impossible for me to debate a matter in this House which is before the courts. I wanted to use this opportunity this afternoon to crash Sen. Okiya Omtatah, the Senator for Busia County. The ...

From the year 2013 when I first spoke in this Senate up to the end of 2021 Parliamentary period, Sen. Okiya Omtatah was not in this House. Since I am not speaking of him in a derogatory manner, I do not have to move a Motion, I am acknowledging his good work. He was doing his good work outside Parliament. He waited until he came here and brought a lot of confusion. He has created a matter to be

to the extent that Government cannot collect taxes. This is a matter which is clearly taken care of in Article 114. When the judges will read his complaints and then apply Article 114, his case will collapse. It is not an issue. Nonetheless, he is holding the whole country and making members of the public who are not suspecting, to go to the streets thinking there is a Bill before the courts that will help them to get what they want. Since this is Sub Judice, I will not go there.

Madam Temporary Speaker, I stand guided. I would like to guide the young Senator although they somehow get irritated when you tell them that they are new. You could still do it during your debate and then counter me. You do not have to come up on a point of order. You just take notes and when it is your time to speak, you counter me and shoot my ideas down. However, as far as the guidance from the Chair is concerned, I agree and I find it very wrong for me to veer into the persona of another Senator. ...

little Fund. This is why I say, let us rise above these things and just let the money go to pull up those Kenyans. I came from Britain the other day and a thought stuck me. When I was landing in the morning, I looked at London and wondered what they see when they are landing here? It is going to take us probably 200 years to remove our manyattas and renew our slums. So, if there is something that we can do affirmatively so that the correction can be done, let us do it. Madam Temporary Speaker, with those ...

Thank you for giving me this opportunity. I am standing under Standing Order No.105. Is the Senator for Nyamira County in order to conclude his appreciation of these great children from Cardinal Otunga, without giving due recognition to George Moseti Anyona, the greatest leader from this family who used to sit on this side? Is it a case that you are against George Moseti Anyona to appreciate Sen. Onyonka at his expense? Is he in order? Madam Temporary Speaker, allow me to remind the children that this was the House of the late Hon. George Anyona. Hon. Anyona was like ...

On a point of order, Madam Temporary Speaker. I am sorry to interrupt Sen. Cherarkey. However, since this is a House of record, I rise under Standing Order No.105. Will I be in order to request him to withdraw his statement that the Speaker of the National Assembly, Rt. Hon. Moses Wetangula, is a senior counsel?
