Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I was in the process of thanking the Senate Majority Leader, Sen. Cheruiyot, who has moved this Motion. On the Minority side, I thank our leaders led by the Senate Minority Leader, and the Senate Minority Whip. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to go on record that when this Motion was on the Floor yesterday, this side requested that we have an informal discussion which we did.

I also thank the Majority side because none of the Senators in the leadership have taken up membership on any Sessional Committee. That is magnanimous.

However, on the side that should be leading by example, our leaders have allocated themselves membership in all the Sessional committees. Shame on us! Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I cannot understand a situation where yesterday, a Senator representing a very special constituency of disability made a passionate plea that she be given membership in the Committee on Information Communication and Technology (ICT). She has been excluded. It is a shame! I have served in this Senate for five years. When I was appointed Chairperson of the Committee on Justice, Legal Affairs and Human Rights, I had to cede membership of ...

On this side we have tried this idea of trying to fight people and we have failed terribly. William Ruto was a member of the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM). He was mistreated, he left, went to church, prayed and he is now the President of the Republic of Kenya.

In the last Parliament, we joined hands here to sack one of the best Speakers, Sen. (Prof.) Kithure Kindiki, Senator of Tharaka Nithi. As we speak today, he is waiting to be vetted to become a Cabinet Secretary (CS) for Interior and National Security.

I am telling those who may have lined up to finish the son of Nyamukami, son of Omogusii, you will never succeed. I am a Christian. I go to the Seventh Day Adventist (SDA) church, the Catholic church, to the Evangelical church and I have people who pray for me, including my dear wife. We must send a statement that there should be fairness from the Minority side.
