Sen. Murkomen is making a very good presentation, but he should not mislead the country on one thing, that the amendment by Sen. Kang’ata had proposed to freeze for three financial years, to ensure that a part of the country can find a solution to this issue. My point of order is that he should stop misleading the country and tell us that he is supporting Sen. Sakaja’s amendment, instead of glossing over issues. Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir.

He wrote on his official Twitter handle that some Senators have been paid Kshs5 million. Did he cast aspersions on the same Members that he is accusing some agencies of threatening?

Madam Deputy Speaker, we were ready to put this matter to rest. The more we procrastinate as the Senate, it paints a bad picture before the public. Many people have argued that it will divide the country. There are many decisions that we have made here before. We kicked out Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki. Is Tharaka Nithi or the country divided as a result of that? No! Let us stop the hogwash that we are selling to the ...
