Mr. Speaker, Sir, we want to assure you that we shall firmly stand behind you. We need to protect devolution and the Senate. We need concurrence that gives the Senate an opportunity to have an input in all Bills that come to Parliament. Often times, Bills are dealt with in the National Assembly without the involvement of the Senate. That business should be a thing of the past. We have very good jurisprudence from the Supreme Court. So, we need to elevate the stature of this House. Senators now have a lot of presence at the county level. I hope ...

Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I oppose this Motion. I would like to speak to the police officers as my sisters and brothers. As a country, before we send citizens who have a registration bearing and an identification as Kenyans, we need to think about their safety. Even if you want to try to travel to Haiti today as an ordinary citizen, you will be warned that Haiti is an unsafe country to go to. As I speak, people are being murdered and kidnapped. There is war everywhere. There is no safe place in Haiti. The Americans were warned ...

We are being extremely insensitive, especially ourselves as the representatives of the people. I am strongly opposed to the idea of sending our children to Haiti and time will vindicate us. As I speak, the only presence we have of America in Somalia is through the bombings they are doing against the Al-Shabaab. We should be leaders who think, reflect and assist our President in making the right decisions. We are not here to rubber-stamp what the Executive wants. We are here to act in the best interest of the people we represent. The people going to Haiti could be ...
