Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I also stand in support of this Motion. I sit in this Committee, and I know that the MES is a very intricate web of contracts and subcontracts. It is now emerging that there is also another cadre of players, called the co-contactors. Therefore, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we need time to visit as many facilities as possible, because according to records, a total of 124 hospitals are said to have benefited from these equipment. The Committee will need more time to visit as many of these facilities as possible, especially those ones in ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, is the Senator for Murang‟a County in order to portend to lecture this House on the procedure that should be followed to cut down on budgets for all the arms of Government? If that is the line he is taking, he is then off the line in terms of the Statement that was issued by the Senator for Nandi County.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I wish to plead with the Chair that we find Sen. Kang‟ata grossly out of order. He has been reminded so many times about being relevant. This Statement has got nothing to do with the appointment of judges by the President. Stick to the Statement, Sen. Kang‟ata.

Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for giving me the opportunity to also support the Statement by the Senator for Nandi. A time has come when the leadership of this country must help Kenyans to debunk the notion that the Executive is charged with the responsibility of dishing out money, and cutting budgets for the other arms of Government.

Thank you Mr. Speaker, Sir, for this opportunity to also add my voice on this Statement by Sen. Wetangula. From the onset, I fully support it for good reasons. There is no argument that there have been cases of cheating in examinations. There is also no argument that there has been collusion between parents, teachers and students to aid in this cheating. But, you do not cure examination cheating by deploying police officers. This will only be cured by investing in systems. When students, teachers and parents collude to cheat in exams, it does not constitute an armed robbery that ...

On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I request the Chair to require that the Senator for Kiambu County be heard in silence. He is trying to put across a very important point but we cannot follow because Senators are consulting loudly.
