Thank you very much, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to make my contribution. I support this particular Bill because it is our duty and call and Kenyans have known that the Senate has stood with them. I do not want to lament because of the fact that there is so much opposition right from the Executive and even in the National Assembly.

(MP). What is the priority of this man? It is a shame that insecurity is prevalent from where he comes from. If that is the case, other areas are more insecure. I am withdrawing the great praises that I showered him when he was immediately nominated for this position. We talked about his colourful Curriculum Vitae (CV) on the same, but there is a lot of doubt on it. He should address this issue with immediate effect. While we shall be in Kitui County, the Committee concerned should invite him to come to that particular place so that he may ...
