Thank you, Sen. Mutahi, for that clarification. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, just to finalize my last minute, we must not disenfranchise counties so much so that they are unable to continue to be productive. Therefore, we must continue to keep them competitive. While others are able to catch up, those counties that are competitive must be kept competitive. I assure you that if you give us the right support – Sen. Murungi tried to light us up when he was the Minister for Energy – the whole of this country and our cities will turn bright; they will have colour, ...

Bw. Naibu Spika, leo nimeambiwa na mwenzangu, Sen. Elachi, kwamba tangu tuje katika Bunge hili, hatujazungumza katika Lugha ya Kiswahili. Msije mkaona kwamba hatuijui. Pili, ningependa kuhimiza tuunge mkono Hoja hii kwa sababu ya kipengele kimoja tu. Katiba yetu ya Kenya imeangazia maswala ya vijana katika kipengele cha 55. Hakuna jambo ambalo tunafanya katika taifa letu ambalo haliendi sambamba na katiba yetu. Kwa hivyo, ningependa kumuunga mkono zaidi. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate.

Bw. Naibu Spika, leo tumeamua tuendelee kwa lugha ya Kiswahili. Mimi ningependa kuzungumzia mambo mawili ambayo ni muhimu sana. Sisi kama taifa la Kenya, tumepewa utajiri mkubwa sana katika upande wa mazingira. Sijaenda katika taifa lolote ambapo nimeona utajiri kama tulionayo. Tuko na mabonde, bahari, mito, nyika na kadhalika. Wageni wengi wakija hapa husema tuna kila kitu ambacho kinaweza kukuza uchumi wetu. Lakini kwa sababu ya ukosefu wa mipangilio maalum ya Serikali na utovu wa nidhamu wa raia wetu kwa jumla, utajiri huu hautusaidii. Sisi ni maadui wakubwa wa mazingira yetu. Tumeuharibu utajiri wetu tuliopewa na Mungu. Hili ni jambo ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, it was my intention actually to withdraw that particular word, and tell all those who were offended by my statement that it was made in good faith. I, therefore, accordingly apologize for that word.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have withdrawn it. I wish the Deputy Speaker could listen. Mr. Speaker, Sir, to finish my submission on that point, I think that the responsibility of any Government Cabinet Secretary or official is to the collective of the Republic of Kenya, regardless of party or the kind of coalition side that you represent. That Government is the Government of Kenya and not a particular coalition.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, my request to you is to explore the Question I brought at the onset of the Senate because your ruling must be futuristic and must be able to stand the test of time. There can be a situation where the President or the Executive comes from the minority party while the Majority Leader in the Senate comes from a different party. This is also a possibility. Therefore, as you deliver your ruling, I will also be hoping to be advised in the event that that occurs because it also tallies with the situation at hand.

Madam Temporary Speaker, first and foremost, on my behalf and on behalf of the people of Mombasa County, we want to wish the entire Muslim fraternity here in Kenya and the world over a fruitful Ramadhan.
