Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, you forgot to tell him that he was seated between the two of us and was speaking a lot; we nearly stopped him. It is only lecturers and professors who stand for long---

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I take this opportunity to second this Bill. On the outset, I congratulate Sen. Wamatangi for coming up with this brilliant Bill. It is a Bill that had been missing in the previous ritual of assumption office of the governor during the inaugural ceremonies 2013.

On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Yesterday, I heard the Cabinet Secretary (CS), Ministry of Devolution and Planning read a list of counties that have suffered. Over the weekend, I went to the border of West Pokot, Turkana, Samburu and Baringo counties. They are equally devastated. I am surprised that there is a shortlist. 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

On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Let me ride on the same regarding Machakos Teachers Training College (MTTC), which has been frequently closed and giving students 10 minutes to vacate the compound. Could the Chairperson explain what is taking place in the said college? There is also a Technical Training College(TTC) in Kabarnet in Baringo County, which is being turned into a university by force. I thought we said that technical colleges should not be converted to universities. Could the Chairperson explain further what is happening with regard to the same?

On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. You heard the way the Chairman was responding carelessly. This issue has been in the media, intensely debated and we hear that the Ministry had even intervened. Is it in order for the Chairperson to ask for two weeks? That is something that he can get even in a day.

On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I heard the Vice Chairperson clearly respond by saying that the Chairperson is out of the country and that she undertook to go and handle the issue today.

The responsible department should be sensitive enough to realize that these Kenyans require a decent shelter, like a tent, where they can wait. This is a serious issue that should be treated as an emergency.

On a point of information, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Sen. Sang may not be wrong. If you go to Nandi County, God placed a beauty culture. I do not know if you have peculiar eyes different from what we have. The ladies there are all beautiful. I know that. Therefore, you should be grateful that they are more beautiful than the ones we know. So, do not belabour the point.

Mr. Temporary, Speaker, Sir, my neighbour, Sen. Murkomen told me that there was no need to indicate my interest to speak because my immediate neighbour, Sen. Lesuuda was replying. I have now realized that it is not the case, and he now has my two minutes. Is he in order?
