Mr. Speaker, Sir, this is a legislative Chamber. What the Senate Minority Leader was presenting here were facts. We are aware that we are under the Jubilee Administration. I thank Sen. Kagwe for admitting that there is corruption. That is very good. What Sen. Wetangula presented here was a list of 350 appointments.

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, honestly, I was quite shocked that the Senator for Kiambu should complain. When we use negative adjectives, he complains. When we are now using very positive adjectives, he is complaining. What will he not complain about? What is wrong when he is told that the words “blessed” and “favoured” are one and the same? Kiambu is favoured and blessed. We can describe it with all the other positive adjectives we know of. Thank God and thank us for bringing it to the fore.

Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I support this Bill and I thank Sen. Musila. In the Tenth Parliament, he tirelessly promoted this and he talked about it so much. It is very sad that even after we passed it in the Tenth Parliament, this has not been implemented. This brings us back to the issue that we always talk about in The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only.

Order! Hon. Senator, I do not know if I heard you well. Did you say that you were going to use me as an example? I do not understand. I kept quiet because I thought you wanted to state my name at birth, and maybe my marital name. If you do not clarify that kind of statement, I might be left in an awkward situation because people might think the name at birth happens not to bear the names on my certificates.

In the spirit of balancing debate, from both sides of the House, I will allow Sen. Kisasa a chance to speak even though you were still far below in the list. There are four Senators before you, but I have allowed you, using my discretion.
