On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. That is a Kiswahili saying. Is the Senator in order to insinuate that somebody is calling for violence just by mere assertions?

Mr. Speaker, Sir, mine is just to say that we should not be very hard on Sen. Khaniri. As he was making his point of order, his first remarks were actually acknowledging the fact that he is not a lawyer. Therefore, he knew the probability of making a mistake in his interpretation.

On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Sen. Billow tried to bring out a perception that we, in CORD, are the majority in the Public Accounts and the Public Investments Committee.

On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I have extreme respect for Sen. G.G. Kariuki. In fact, I had relegated the fact that he is Sen.No.001. However, constantly, Sen.
