Yes, I have now brought back the amendment. That is Clause 2 of the Third Schedule.

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I am a very disappointed Senator. I combed through the courts decision that nullified the housing levy. I came here as a Senator knowing that I would get the benefit of 20 minutes to reason together. Instead, you want to push things down our throats, even denying us the right to speak on behalf of the people of Nyamira County who elected me. This is not the democracy we fought for. We must suffer collective shame. All over the world, a Senate - an Upper House - is a deliberative House.

We do not mind you pushing through laws, but give us a right to go on record by saying what we need to as the Minority side. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, what am I going to say in four minutes? This is the High Court’s decision I am holding in my hand. What can I say in four minutes? Nothing! It is a shame. I am carrying 600,000 votes from Nyamira County. If you think that this Bill is popular with the people of Nyamira County, it will hit you when you go to the ground. I saw Sen. (Dr.) ...

I was in Kericho this weekend and had tea there. The teachers of Kericho and Nyamira told me they do not want this affordable housing, including my farmers in Nyamira. On Sunday, I had dinner with two Catholic priests. They told me that the President William Ruto they are seeing now is not the William Ruto they knew then. The expectation of the poor Kenyans was that the houses will be built for the less fortunate in society. Now, you have come up with something that you are telling us Kenyans are going to buy. Which Kenyans? The middle class ...

way you run a country; you need to allow people to debate issues and put across our thoughts, then we pass legislations that carry along the Kenyans. Mr. Speaker, Sir, if we continue this way, we are on the wrong road.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I heard Sen. Cherarkey mention my name in a manner that can create an impression to Kenyans that I am not a man of integrity. He says that when I go to Nyamira County seeking services and a file has disappeared, I give Kshs500 for it to be produced. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to go on record that I do not give bribes. I have never bribed anyone in any registry to get a file. If he has done it, he should say he has given Kshs500 to have files procured for himself, but not make ...
