Correct. Finally, as I conclude, on the obligations of the County Government, I am happy with the free access to primary education, and the inclusion of Persons with Disability (PWDs) in the County Public Service Board. I think they should be included in the affirmative aspect of procurement. If you want these people to work, empower them. The only way to do so, is by empowering them financially. I want to thank Sen. Crystal Asige for this wonderful Bill. I know People Living with Disabilities (PWDs) in this Republic will be proud of the Senate for being part of midwifing ...

Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I rise to second the Adjournment Motion to discuss an issue of national importance as per our Standing Orders. The upshot of the argument of Sen. Munyi Mundigi is based on Article 37 of our Constitution. Allow me to read this provision because I have seen our colleagues on the Minority side and Azimio One Kenya Alliance quoting it.

On two occasions, we have lost more than 15 Kenyans, billions worth of properties have been destroyed, many Kenyans have not accessed their places of work and children have not gone to school. The economy has lost billions and billions of shillings in terms of tax and other turnover. This has been perpetuated under the pretext of exercising Article 37 of the Constitution of Kenya. It is very unfortunate that as a country, one person continues to hold the country hostage because of being power- hungry. In 1997, 2007, 2013 and 2017 the signature, tactics and agenda are similar; go ...

In fact, I want to assist Sen. Osotsi that there is a court matter already by Speaker Mate of Embu that you cannot challenge a process at the beginning; you wait until I finish my submission. I want to put the record straight. Sen. Osotsi might be a member of a bar. Personally, I am a teetotaller. I do not take alcohol. So, maybe he is recovering from hangovers of the long weekend. The one person I am talking about is the Azimio leader Raila Odinga and it is a fact. In 2007, he pushed for a grand coalition Government. ...

Madam Temporary Speaker give me my time because he interrupted my train of thought. How can I substantiate the obvious? You cannot! There is judicial notice. We must stop this culture. The Constitution talks about national values and principles of good governance. One of the tenets of the principles is the rule of law in this country. When we go to an election, I do not know of any Senator, including Sen. Osotsi,
