Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I want to congratulate Sen. Gwendo through her sister, Sen. Abdille. This Bill is important because it talks about the establishment of libraries in every county. There are some counties like Kisumu and Nairobi that already have these services but they need to be established even at the sub-county level.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, you directed last time that we should get this statement. The nature of the inquiry was so urgent because for the last nearly four years now nominated Members of County Assemblies (MCAs) have never benefited and they have been discriminated.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I will not take the angle my brother has taken – you do not return an eye for an eye. I wanted the Chair to delve further. In the report we heard that this pilot is a foreigner. Are we saying that we can employ a driver from outside Kenya to drive our own vehicles?

Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I am standing on behalf of the Senate Majority Leader. This is important because the Senate Majority Leader is in Kericho campaigning and he is talking badly about Kenya African National Union (KANU) claiming that I am in the opposition. The Members in the opposition can witness that I am the true Senate Majority Leader today.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, simple English shows that we belong to the same coalition. For that reason, anybody alleging that KANU is not a party forming the Government’s party coalition is a liar. BUSINESS FOR THE WEEK COMMENCING TUESDAY, 8TH MARCH, 2016 Hon. Senators, pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order No.45, this is to present to the Senate business for the coming week, Tuesday, 8th March, 2016.
