On a point of order. Mr. Speaker, Sir. Is it in order for the Senator who is speaking to keep on referring to the issue of former Governor Waititu, whereas, in essence, he has become a professional committee Member? This is because, in that committee, he was a Chairman of that committee and when it was brought to the Floor of the House, he declined and voted against it. Is he in order to keep on referring to that issue?

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I heard Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr., whom the people of Kirinyaga County are waiting to hear what he says because they have a lot of respect for him, say that there was a letter that said that Senators are corrupt. Please, table it.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would want to start by seeking your indulgence. First, I may not be very comfortable, or good in the gab of this language called English. I am not the man who mobilized the language and took it to war. However, I want to be allowed to speak in whatever form I can, so that I can tell the Hon. Senators, what is it that the people of Kirinyaga County are saying. Secondly, Mr. Speaker, Sir, I also would like to seek your indulgence, so that you can add me one or two minutes.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to speak more so because people have kept on referring to what the people of Kirinyaga are saying. Indeed, I have the mandate, as the only independent Senator in the Republic of Kenya, to talk on behalf of the people of Kirinyaga.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I just wanted to say that Kirinyaga County has over 600, 000 people. In that county, we have close to 100 sub-locations. For us to be able to articulate issues of Kirinyaga, we normally move around and ask, what is it that has been happening? I want to urge and say--- I am not saying and do not want to persuade any Member, to say that it is the Governor who is guilty. The only thing that the people of Kirinyaga are saying is that, Senator---They sent me messages, called me, and they have been persuading me ...

The people of Kirinyaga are not saying it is anybody’s guilt. They are saying, this is a learning process. They would also want to come to the Senate and learn. Where they have made a mistake, it would be explained and where they have done well, they will be given the correct position. Like Sen. Linturi said, we are setting out issues of how we can move on issues of impeachment.

I like the way Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. is saying that he has documented, and this is also a learning process. Most of my fellow Senators here have only participated in Gov. Waititi’s impeachment. I am lucky that I have a participated both in a committee and in the plenary. So, I know the merits and demerits of the two options. I do not need to be educated on the merits and demerits of the two, but more importantly--- Can I be informed?
