On this matter, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I have listened carefully to the Petition as raised by the Senator for Vihiga and it looks like a story from all counties and mine is not an exception. Indeed, it brings a lot of questions forward, for example, when the Members of the County Assembly (MCAs) approve a budget for a particular year with line items indicated, how does the county executive vary them without going back to the Assembly at any time in the course of the year for approval? Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is a story that is really ...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I also rise to support this Procedural Motion and to say that Sen. Billow has diligently discharged his duties as the Chairman of Finance, Commerce and Budget Committee. We are very happy with the work he is doing and the energy he has. I hope he is going to be very helpful at the Pan African (PAP). We all know that PAP is supposed to look at developments and linkages in Africa as a whole. I ideally thought that Sen. Ong’era and Sen. Murkomen who were there earlier were supposed to occasionally come and brief ...

Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I join my colleagues in congratulating and thanking Sen. Obure who is “enjoying” his neighbour that he went to USA in 1964 when most of us had not been born. I had been born. I was one year old then. It is surprising that we can hear such a statement from Sen. Musila. In 1964 when they did their quality examinations, I note that maybe during that time, quality and standardization of our examinations was still being held at Cambridge in London. That is why they had high esteem; that they could go anywhere. ...
