Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to join them in welcoming the delegation that is visiting the Senate this afternoon. I also thank the delegation of councilors. I once worked under councilors and they did a good job. As I join other Senators in welcoming the delegation, I wish them a fruitful and safe stay in Nairobi. I know that they are going to learn something that will add value and promote devolution. Thank you.

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I also want to add my voice on the issue of IDs. There is an outcry because IDs are produced with errors, either one number missing or an error in the names. Could the Chair also tell us what will happen during election time if Kenyans are locked out because there are errors in their IDs? There is carelessness in officers who are registering applicants and issuing IDs or there is a hidden agenda to sabotage and make sure that some areas do not vote or register as voters. I request the Chair to answer the ...

Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for giving me the opportunity to contribute. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I support the County Industrial Development Bill (Senate Bill No.7 of 2014). I thank Sen. (Eng.) Muriuki of Nyandarua County for coming up with this very important Bill that touches on the development of our counties. As custodians of devolution, this is the roadmap because a county is a government on its own. It must sustain itself and offer quality services to the people within the county. If there is industrialisation, I believe that we will have more development within counties. Counties will ...

On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. This incident reminds me of a time when Sen. Murkomen said that he does not believe in information from newspapers. Therefore, reading for us from a newspaper is the same----Is he in order?

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I want to support this Motion of Adjournment. It was great for us to host the President of the United States of America. On behalf of persons with disabilities, I want to congratulate and thank the Government and the US Embassy and its staff for the well organized sitting arrangement where persons with disabilities were allowed to participate. They had all the plans put in place; ushering in and taking good care of persons with disabilities. I was so happy because the seating arrangement was perfect. We were all equal when listening to his speech. This ...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity. I am keeping quiet because yesterday, I mentioned that I am a Member of the Committee, but you declined to give me an opportunity. Instead, you gave the Chief Whip from the Government side. That is why I kept quiet because I thought that you do not want me to respond to issues concerning the Committee on Health.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, I accept your apology. I did not convey yesterday’s request from the Senator because I knew that Sen. Elachi would give the message. We, as a Committee, were to meet the CS today in the morning, but he sent an apology. Therefore, we shall be meeting him next week. We will discuss the issues with him and report to the House. Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir.

Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for this opportunity to contribute to this Motion. I also thank the Mover of this Motion, Sen. Orengo. I take this opportunity to welcome President Obama to this country. I am so happy that he is coming at a time when I am a Senator. That reminds me about the history of his life which I compare to mine. It reminds me that it does not matter who you are, where you were born, what you look like and what you have gone through; God has good plans for each and everyone. For those reasons, ...
