Mr. Speaker, Sir, we have had run-ins even here at the legislative, but they have overstretched their mandate. In fact, I will bring an amendment that we should make the SRC part-time because I believe they are idle in their offices. Nowadays, they have become bogeymen or bogeywomen and they just review salaries of politicians in this country. They only meet four times a year. We can make them part-time because they are always changing vehicles and they have the salaries they give themselves. Who watches the watcher? No one watches. You know they say that when your goat gets ...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I would like to welcome the Cabinet Secretary to the Senate. Indeed, if these are the kinds of leaders from the Mulembe nation led by Oparanya and Khalwale, then the Mulembe nation is in safe hands. Mr. Speaker, Sir, in Nandi County, there are upcoming co-operative societies like Kipsiele Cooperative Society, Chepterit Women's Star, Kapsaos Coffee Cooperative, Kapkulumben Cooperative Society, Lesos Farmers Cooperative Society and Kabunyeria Farmers Cooperative Society, amongst others.

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I rise under Standing Orders No.1 and 101. You heard Sen. Sifuna say that Sen. Cheruiyot is a heckler. Can it be expunged from the record of the House, so that we protect the dignity of the Member? That is my indulgence.

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, you cannot allow the House to be overrun. You are in charge. I invite you to Standing Orders 121 and 122, which state that a Senator commits an act of gross disorderly conduct if he defies the ruling or direction of the Speaker or Chairperson of a committee. Therefore, Sen. Sifuna is totally out of order. He must face the consequences of Standing Orders No.121 and 122, so that this House can proceed. He has defied your direction and must be thrown out.

Could I ask the Cabinet Secretary that in light of the court’s decision that the verification committee he formed was unconstitutional and illegal, how will he ensure the verification of the NHIF’s pending verifiable and unverifiable bills? I told Waziri when he appeared that under Article 229 of the Constitution, the Office of the Auditor-General should be the one verifying the pending bills. What are the options on the table? I gave him for free. I did not even charge him. It was pro bono . The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified ...
