Otherwise, I stand with the families and say sorry to those who lost their beloved ones. It is only God who can comfort them in these hard times.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I think I want, first of all, to appreciate the Senate Leader of Majority for giving me that direction. However, when a Member contributes on this Floor, that is not the position of the Senate. It is my personal view and I stick to it. It should not be taken as a resolution of the Senate.

I meant that we saw leaders going to parade themselves with ammunition at the scene of crime. Next time we have such an incident, we may have 87 Members of County Assembly (MCAs) with guns outside that scene. We shall not be sorting out the problem at that point.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is my wish that we leave such operations to the security forces to handle, so that leaders can come in at the appropriate time.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I want to join my colleagues in supporting the fact that the Senate must be respected but again we need to, first of all, look at ourselves. I have an issue on how we execute Standing Order No.48 on requests for Statements from Senators. You will find that when we ask a question and it is referred to a Committee; the chairperson goes to the respective Cabinet Secretary (CS) to seek for answers. Those answers are directly brought to the House without being interrogated.

This has relegated the Chairpersons of Committees to committee clerks, because we are simply forwarding those statements to the chairpersons of committees. They literally run with those statements to the Cabinet Secretaries who give them answers which are not interrogated, to be presented to this House. I think we need to relook at the manner in which those statements are interrogated. How I wish we should accumulate the statements and cluster them and ask the CS to come and respond to them and that the answers to those statements be tabled in the House in the form of a Report.
