Mr. Speaker, Sir, following the issuance of that Statement, I want to know from Sen. Haji whether this Statement is signed by himself, the Cabinet Secretary or the Department? We are trying to lay precedence in terms of how these Statements are presented to the House.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am not particularly sure of the order, but the Clerk can advise us. I know that when names are tabled in Parliament or on the Floor of the House, there is a Standing Order that says you either accept the names in total or you reject them in total. You cannot start to amend by including names. So, the decision that can be taken is to stay the adoption of this report or this standing committee, so that the House Business Committee can regenerate the names afresh and bring them here.

Madam Temporary Speaker, I rise to support this Motion by Sen. Orengo. First and foremost, I would like to applaud Sen. Orengo for his credentials in the democratic struggle of this country. I do believe that this Motion tends to complete the democratization of Kenya. If you look at it critically, in Kenya, the suffocation of democratic space was largely a function of the Provincial Administration. Any government with a temptation to ensure that they protect the structure of the Provincial Administration in its current state is a government that is bent on undoing the gains of democracy in this ...

We are told in Islam that the ink of a scholar is greater than the blood of a martyr. So what we have done, in distinguishing ourselves from the National Assembly, is that we have constantly pursued the line of scholarship to try and demonstrate that we adhere to and understand the Constitution. Your ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have just consulted Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale. I recognise that Sen. Murkomen is the Chair of a Committee that I belong to. I do not know whether Sen. Murkomen is making a statement on behalf of the Committee, which is not properly seized of this matter. Is he just responding on his own volition?

Mr. Speaker, Sir, thank you for this opportunity. Over the last two days we have demonstrated something that I learnt, called the art of generalship. The art of generalship is that, where you are ready to give a shoot-to-kill order, but compassionate enough to be able to pardon those who are able to face the noose. Mr. Speaker, Sir, yesterday, young Senators in this House had decided that they were going to defend the integrity and leadership of this House. In fact, Sen. Sonko had told me that they had appointed me at that point to speak in the Press ...
