Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is a very sad day that a Cabinet Secretary has gone on record on the Floor of the House that he actually received Questions from the Senate, but just read the covering letter. That is what he has said. He just read the cover letter. He did not read the Annexure that contains the Questions. Then he went ahead to answer Questions based on the cover letter. This is a demonstration of how casually this Cabinet Secretary and this Ministry treat this House. I want to implore you, and I said this before; restore the dignity ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, if you allow me, I will attempt to educate the Cabinet Secretary on this dam. This dam is not just in Makueni County, but both in Makueni and Kitui counties. In your brief, you left that out. Now you are educated. Secondly, the Cabinet Secretary is saying that it is his first time here, but just relax. You are double speaking.

That reminds me that a few days ago, no other than the President of the Republic mentioned the fact that people that do not keep livestock cannot talk about livestock. That we should stick to dengu because we are dengu farmers. That line of thought is very dangerous for this country; ...

Let us allow debate to flow. In fact, we should be very happy that we have one among us who is a serious macadamia farmer, raising issues for and on behalf of his colleagues in the macadamia sector. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I wish that you would warn the Senator for Bomet County to desist from stifling debate.

On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. The Senator for Mombasa is inviting you to act in a discriminatory manner. There are countries in this country that do not host anything. When it comes to being given the privilege to ask a second question, what will you do with those Senators from those counties?

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, please, rule the Senator of Mombasa County out of order. Let him stick to the provisions of Standing Order No.51(c) so that we also make time available for other Senators to ask questions.
