Madam Deputy Speaker, I just wanted to give some words of comfort to my good friend Sen. (Prof.) Ongeri that once we pass this Bill, it will go as it is, but in future when we review the constituencies, maybe we can think of Kisii. Sen. (Prof.) Ongeri, this is cast in stone. It will go as it is.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, this is a House of records. Sen. Malalah, who is my good friend, is creating an impression before the House that in Naivasha when Members of the National Assembly were agitating for the NG-CDF, we never agitated for an oversight fund for the Senate. Everybody who was in Naivasha – and I have Senators around here - will confirm that we made a presentation. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate.

I spoke on behalf of Senators and indicated that the oversight fund should be included in the Constitution of Kenya (Amendment) Bill. Whereas the position of the Members of the National Assembly was taken on board and included in the proposed amendments to Article 206 (a), the position of the Senate was not taken on board.

6 May 2021 in Senate:
Therefore, it is misleading to state that Senators did not agitate. The correct position should be that we put forth our position, but the drafters of this Bill, for reasons we do not know, opted to take on board the position of the National Assembly, but left out the request put forth by the Senate.

If you read the BBI Report, my name appears on Page 166 as one of the Members of Parliament who made a detailed presentation before the BBI Taskforce. Therefore, the Member should not be left to mislead the House.
