Madam Temporary Speaker, on a point of information. The issue of Janjaweed started in 2003, and by 2013, the Janjaweed created an offshoot called Rapid Support Forces (RSF). Consequently, when you refer to RSF and Janjaweed, they are of the same family, but different species, if you did biology. People who did Biology are brilliant like us who went to Kapsabet Boys High School, which has produced two presidents, Moi and Ruto, then you are able to understand. The issue should be, if RSF is in Nairobi, is it the same as Janjaweed in Nairobi? That can be left to ...

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, thank you very much. From the onset, I support this Motion by the Senate Majority Leader. I wish to make a few comments. First is to congratulate the Rt. Hon. former Prime Minister Raila Odinga for running this race. As many of my colleagues have said, it was not about Raila Odinga; it was about Kenya. As we left Addis Ababa in Ethiopia, I was happy by the comments of the former Prime Minister Raila Odinga when he said he is coming back more energized and more focused going into the future. I want to thank ...

Therefore, I want to assure the nation and thank President William Ruto for his magnanimity. You remember in 2022, the presidential election was a close call, but out of the magnanimity of President William Ruto, when Raila Odinga declared that he would run for the African Union Chairman, President William Ruto did not look at Raila as the opponent that he defeated him in the general election. He looked at him as a brother, a statesman and a Kenyan. That is why the Rt. Hon. Raila Amolo Odinga had at his disposal the entire Government machinery to campaign across the ...

Therefore, what is the future? We congratulate His Excellency Mahmoud Ali Youssouf of Djibouti, although I heard his speech and was disappointed that we had more money and more power. I thought he would have been more magnanimous. You know, in victory, in the book “48 laws of power by Robert Greene,” you should know when to stop celebrating. It is one of the basic tenets of the 48 Laws of Power by Robert Greene. Therefore, it is very unfortunate for this to come from him when he wants to unite the continent. He will be the biggest envoy, Sen. ...

I did not say that. I said some flights but not Kenya Airways. You can check the HANSARD. I said some flights. I did not say Kenya Airways specifically. I said that we must revive or revitalise Kenya Airways to turn around profitability because it is being run down.

In the Kenya Kwanza Manifesto, one of our key components was aviation turnaround in terms of increasing cargo to ensure more revenue to Kenya Airways. We have had a discussion about Kenya Airways. Even as we ensure there are open skies in Africa, we must make it vibrant so that there is ease of movement of people and services. I can see the senior counsel nodding in agreement that Kenya Airways must be reformed. On the issue of military cooperation, I agree that we need to work better. I am happy that President William Ruto requested the AU to include ...
