Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, on the Standing Order on the accuracy of facts, is it in order for Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale to impute improper motive against the great people of Nandi by saying we are consumers of alcohol? That whenever we go and collect money in Naitili and Butali Sugar Company, my farmers end up taking alcohol? Is it in order?

Madam Temporary Speaker, as a Senator in this House, I also have a role to guide the House sometimes when there are lapses as per the Standing Orders and the Constitution. Let me begin by saying that I support the SBC membership. My simple advice to the Senate Majority Leader is to at least rotate the membership in future. I can see we have Sen. Crystal Asige, Sen. Shakila Abdalla, a Nominated Senator from Lamu, and a number of colleagues. In order for people to learn, in future, at least let us have a rotational way of choosing the membership.
