I would like him to clarify how many children are in the programme and the facility where rehabilitation is being done.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, clearly for my brother, my friend, my colleague, Waziri Mbadi, the shoe is clearly on the other foot. That is very clear. Just riding on what Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale is trying to ask, can Parliament, this Senate, your Senate that you preside over, legislate in vain? Is it possible that Senators would sit here, pass resolutions and it is just talk show? The Attorney-General then sits in an office somewhere and decides that this is not good enough. The question is; when the Cabinet Secretary received that advisory opinion from the Attorney-General, if he did, did he ...

resolution on this date, but we have received an advisory opinion from the Attorney- General on this day so, please act accordingly? I will not belabor the point. The Cabinet Secretary fought with me on this matter when he was pushing the agenda of the former Members of the National Assembly to be compensated.

He is still waiting for the day when this administration will live up to its word that the things that had been done wrongly will ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is a clever way of getting you agitated. This is because somebody is trying to say that you can sit on that chair, preside over a Motion and a resolution is passed, which pushes ministries to sit down and come up with a solution to a problem, then one person, by a stroke of a pen says that all we have done is in vain. The question is to the Cabinet Secretary. Can any House of Parliament legislate in vain?

Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I can see my brother Sen. Wakoli in a deep conversation with the Cabinet Secretary, which is a good thing. I am sure he is briefing her on a few things. I rise to ask Question No.10, but before I do that because my gadget was on for a long time, to raise an issue or two on previous questions. I will raise them and the Cabinet Secretary does not need to respond. I will just raise them then proceed to ask my Question. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for ...

One of the issues was raised by Sen. Olekina. We have a problem and one of my biggest weaknesses is to say things as they are. One of the biggest problems that we have is when people want to answer their questions. They ask and answer their questions. Sen. Olekina asked a very leading question that would have helped us, as a country, in terms of the management of healthcare.
