Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Standing Orders do not exist in futility or in vain. I refer to Standing Order No.9. I have seen my sister, Sen. Shakila, repeatedly say ‘ nyuma ya tent’ and ‘ yuko safe .’ In our Standing Orders, you can insist to use either Kiswahili, like how Sen. Olekina did today in the morning or use English. Is it in order to interchangeably use those words, yet our Standing Orders state that if you start with English, you use English and if you start in Kiswahili, you proceed with Kiswahili? Is it in order to ...

The second one is that on the consultants, he has strategically omitted the presence ...

Madam Temporary Speaker, this Statement could not go without me saying something. As the Vice Chairperson of the County Public Accounts Committee (CPAC), I thought it is important to support the Statement by Sen. Olekina. I think this is where the meat is. I want to challenge us to go beyond the counties that have been mentioned. On the issue of supplementary budgets and approvals, there have been instances where the CoB approves some items that cannot be traced. When you look at payment vouchers and requisitions from the counties, they are like love letters by county governors. They just ...
