On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Is it in order for this House to set a precedent, that where a member of certain community is mentioned, the Maasai wake up; when a Luhya is mentioned, the Luhya wake up; when a Kikuyu is mentioned, the Kikuyu wake up? This is not a tribal House; let us rise beyond this! We are talking and handling matters pertaining to our country. Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir.

On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Is it in order for Sen. Kang’ata to put this House in uncomfortable mood because even discussing the issue of gayism is uncomfortable? We should postpone this discussion. We should not give it audience. Therefore, I request Hon. Kang’ata to wind up his presentation because I am uncomfortable. I do not like listening to these things, I am a religious person. I do not support gayism and I would not want anybody to lecture me on issues of gayism. So, Hon. Kang’ata, kindly, you are a newly wedded person, please wind up ...

Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. In the absence of Senior Counsel, Sen. James Orengo, I am the acting Senate Minority Leader. Therefore, I had enough confidence that you would select me. I stand to join my distinguished colleagues in congratulating and commending Eliud Kipchoge for breaking the World Marathon record. I think the issue of sports can be used as a platform for cohesion and integration in this country. We have had communities clashing and differences between regions in this country. We had issues of political intolerance and sports is the only platform that we can use, as legislators ...

On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is Sen. Murkomen in order to derail and start debating things that are not within the content of the Motion that he moved? I think he is out of order and you need to rule so.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Before I contribute on the Petition by the good Senator for Nandi, I want to express my gratitude to the County of Uasin Gishu, the home of champions, although yesterday they failed to rise to the occasion when our first team thrashed them two goals to nil. It is only in the second half, when we did a ceremonial substitution, where Sen. Haji was the defender and Sen. (Prof.) Ongeri was the striker, and that is how they managed to score some flimsy goal .

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I think Sen. Haji is a wonderful defender. He came into the match and never touched the ball, but he was the defender.

Today, I am also happy because I have seen real salvation. I have seen the manifestation of God in this House; what goes around comes around. Last week, when I was in the Senate trying to pump some sense and logic regarding the business of the House, one of the Senators, who is seated here, stood up and demeaned my contributions. The Senator even brushed me off and said: “Do you think that this is a county Assembly?” I am glad that, today, he is seated in the Chamber of the County Assembly of Uasin Gishu.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Bible says “forgive and forget.” So, I hereby forgive Sen. Murkomen for those reckless utterances.
