Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I stand to reply. On the outset, I want to thank all my colleagues, Senators, for contributing overwhelmingly to this important Motion which talks about the importance of science, technology and innovation particularly in the world today and more so that as Kenyans, we need to embrace the same ideal and ideas at such a time when we are driving Vision 2030. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, Kenyans are very brilliant people, as was shown by the research findings by the National Council for Science and Technology. Indeed, we need to commercialize some of their ...

On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Like my colleagues have said, this is a matter that we should not take lightly, in the light of what the senior Member of this House, Sen. Haji, has confessed here, all of us here can attest to the work that Sen. Haji has really been doing in this House. He is more committed than most of the other Chairmen, to the extent that we need to acknowledge the magnitude of the problem that we have at hand. The relevant officers really need to take their work seriously. They are very busy ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise to seek a Statement from the Chairperson of the Standing Committee on National Security and Foreign Relations.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, given the urgency of the matter and also the increased tension at the border between the two counties as a result of these acts of banditry and killings, I would request that the Chairman undertakes to issue the Statement as soon as possible.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to thank the Chairman for labouring to bring this Statement. Like my colleagues who have spoken before me have mentioned, I sought this Statement while knowing very well that I needed the answers to be given. So, if there is anything that the ordinary mwananchi is not supposed to know, the hon. Senators are supposed to know this. I took an opportunity to talk to the relevant officers and they told me that I would be given the information when I seek this Statement. So, the Chairman should not speak on their behalf. You cannot ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am surprised at the way my brother, Sen. Munyes, is talking. People are being killed at the border of West Pokot and Turkana, and I came to speak for the two communities. When he says that I keep talking about Turkana, what does that mean? Are you saying that they are not my people? You should declare your interest, because those are my people and I should talk for them.
